    Just wondering if anyone here has ever been to the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl power plant? Ive wanted to see Pripyat since i first heard about the infamous dead city, there are tours that go from Kiev to pripyat for 60 odd euro. But to be honest i wouldnt know where to begin. Ive looked on pripyat.com forums, they arrange trips to the zone once a month or so. Tbh id be a bit wary going somewhere like that on my own, id be afraid of waking up in a bathtub sans kidneys. Anyone ever been to kiev or pripyat??

    I reckon you are like me, a person who likes to dabble with a new coin phrase "dark tourism", which involves visiting places with tragic histories like ground zero, Auschwitz etc.

    Unfortunetly I dont know anything about it, but its sometinhg Id love to do in a few years time, if its safe enough.

    you could contact macspower, he is involved in charity work in chernobyl and has been there a few times, so would certainly be able to answer all your questions
