Forget open beaches and seaside resorts. Go to Pripyat,a city near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Part city exploration experience,part real-life video game,the tour is now being provided by several Ukrainian travel companies.

On the day of the tour,curious visitors of all ages and countries—many from the US and Western Europe—gathered in the Ukrainian capital city,Kiev,and boarded a tour bus destined for Pripyat. This used to be a successful blue-collar town until the nuclear meltdown. Today,well-maintained freeways fall away to two-way highways,which finally give way to beaten old roads as one nears the edge of the Exclusion Zone —the 30km radius around the infamous power plant.

After a brief direction which tour guides insisted that the levels of radiation experienced by visitors are similar to the exposure they had on the flight to Ukraine—we were driven beyond the checkpoint into the Exclusion Zone.

Pripyat was founded as a city for the power plant's workers. Nowadays,its once busy streets have been changed into narrow gravelly trails between breakdown buildings,and small decorative trees that at one time lined the sidewalks have returned the area to the forest it was in days past.

The tour continued inside some of the buildings. This hotel room would once have been warm and cozy,but not any more. You can see a tree growing in the room. There was a huge amount of old paint,broken windows,and wood. As Pripyat people were told it would only be a short-term evacuation,most of their personal belongings were left behind. We carefully stepped around the ruined objects littering the floor and had the unique experience of seeing a building frozen in time for over 25 years.

Part of the tour took place in the old school. And although this is definitely one of the most disturbing parts—the rows of desks covered in dust that scatter the floor are frightening,it is also one of the sites that has been the most disturbed by visitors.
