Belarus Exclusion Zone Tour

One-day tour to the Belarusian exclusion zone: we will visit Polesie State Radioecological Reserve, where we will learn about the real consequences of the catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, will be amazed by nature diversity caused by the absence of human intervention, examine the radiation background with an accompanying guide.

The main objective of our trip is to get acquainted with the activities of the Polesie State Radioecological Reserve, to learn about radiation contamination issues with the scientific staff of the reserve, as well as to monitor the flora and fauna of the territories where human activity was almost completely terminated. You will be surprised how quickly nature has recovered: for 30 years of human absence, the reserve’s territory was inhabited by the Przhevalsky horse, and the number of bison here is one of the highest in Belarus. Thanks to the ban on hunting in the exclusion zone, the number of wolves and ungulates has also recovered.
