Unique excursion to the Belarusian exclusion zone

The one-day tour acquaints tourists with the history of the tragic accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, talks about its consequences and impact on the life of the modern generation. The natural diversity of the area due to the long absence of man is simply amazing. In the exclusion zone, rare animal populations increased, natural resources and wealth were restored.

Excursion to the Belarusian exclusion zone is accompanied by a researcher. Together with him, tourists will be able to explore the radiation background of the area.

Polessky Reserve on excursions to Chernobyl from Gomel

The main point of the route is the Polessky Radiation and Ecological Reserve. The researcher talks about research on radiation pollution, interesting facts and stories about the local flora and fauna. Due to the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, human activity in these territories was practically stopped. 33 years after the disaster, nature not only recovered, but also increased its wealth:

• on the territory of the reserve today you can meet the Przhevalsky horse;

• the number of bison has increased significantly — the number of individuals is the largest among all Belarusian reserves;

• the number of wolves and ungulates has recovered due to the ban on hunting, etc.
