About us
Hi there! They call us ""Stalkers"" or chernobyl explorers who visit the exclusion zone illegally .We've been breaking into Chernobyl for 9 years already and we're truly in love with this post-apocalyptic Wonderland where one can immerse into incredibly powerful sensations of the life after human's civilisation.
We always try to leave the place untouched and use the motto: "take only pictures, leave only footprints..."

Sound of Chernobyl
Since the nuclear catastrophe of April 26 1986, and in contrast to human life, nature at Chernobyl is thriving. The evacuation of people has created an undisturbed haven and wildlife has taken full advantage.
We recorded the sounds of places of the Chernobyl zone. We used a professional stereo recorder. “Sound of Chernobyl” project is a symbiosis nature of the exclusion zone and Pripyat urban environment.
Gear:
Zoom H1n recorder, ukulele, an abandoned piano in Pripyat apartment,
Audacity software.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Chernobyl Zone!

Route
Day 1
As a rule, we meet with you in the evening, buy the necessary food and water and go to a special spot in the perimeter of the Zone. Late in the evening we cross the perimeter of Chernobyl Zone and head for the abandoned village, where we spend the night.
Day 2
After waking up and having breakfast, we continue our hike through the wild nature of the Chernobyl zone and by the evening we get to the secret place where we stop for a halt. We dine and explore the area there, waiting for the darkness. After resting we make the final march to the ghost town of Pripyat.

Day 3
You wake up in our secret Pripyat apartment. The morning begins with a cup of coffee on the roof with a view of the ghost city and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. After a nourishing breakfast we start to explore the most interesting locations of Pripyat: abandoned apartments of city residents, kindergartens, schools, swimming pool "Azure", amusement park, prison house, "Jupiter" factory, river port and many more! Your exploring of the city ends with the contemplation of the sunset from a roof. After dinner and rest we leave Pripyat at night and head for Duga radar.
Day 4
At dawn we climb up Duga radar. From a height of 150 meters you will have an incredible view of the expanses of the Chernobyl zone. After sleep we return to the perimeter of Chernobyl Zone and then back to Kiev.

| Are there any restrictions for the hike? | chernobyl urbex adventure means that you’ll hike about 90 km for 4 days with backpack by foot. That’s why you must have trekking experience or be in a good physical shape. |
| Is it safe? | - It would be a lie to give a 100% guarantee against capture by police in the Zone, but the police never caught us with tourists since 2010.

That's why illegal hikes are so popular today. |
| How will radiation affect my health? | What you should know about the radioactive contamination of Chernobyl zone. First, the radiation covers the zone with spots, not evenly. We always choose the safe trails and stay in clean houses and apartments. Secondly, we have radiometers. In the third radiation levels no longer pose a health hazard in case of short-term arrival there. Finally, we've been visit the zone since 2010 and we're still alive! ;) |

Do not forget that people will visit the place after you do, so let them experience it just as you did!
