We ventured into #Object1180, an underground comma

We ventured into #Object1180, an underground command post in #Moldova designed to protect people from nuclear radiation in the event of an emergency. Its construction began in 1985 and was near completion by the end of 1991. However, with the dissolution of the #SovietUnion, it was left abandoned. It's slowly being dismantled, so it seems like it'll be gone within a few years. If you want to visit before that happens, you can book a tour such as the May 2022 Ultimate Transnistria Victory Day Tour that has this nuclear survival #bunker in its itinerary.

Join YPT and make your first tour of next year exp

Join YPT and make your first tour of next year exploring North #Africa’s largest and least visited country. Although #Algeria is most commonly compared to other French-speaking countries in North Africa, it is far from being exposed to mass tourism like its neighbours Morocco and Tunisia. Algeria is one of the hardest to reach countries of Africa mostly because of the difficult tourist visa process. Luckily, we here at #YPT provide full visa support simplifying and guaranteeing your visa for you.
During your adventure with us you’ll experience Algeria through its history beginning with the Roman Empire, onto the contemporary Muslim movements, #French occupation and the local resistance that lead to Algeria’s independence. If you’ve not seen the film Battle of Algiers, we recommend it and we’ll be looking around the Martyr’s Museum, a rival to north Korea’s War Museum.
Whilst Algeria is large we will be covering a lot of land by exploring the incredibly preserved ancient Roman ruins of #Djemila, visiting the majestic ‘City of Bridges’ of #Constantine, and boarding a domestic flight to the mysterious traditional villages of #Ghardaia – the gateway to the #Sahara, with every day bringing you a variety of different unique experiences.
The tour then concludes after a domestic flight to the coastal city of #Oran, the second largest and most important part of the country, where we will not only explore both French and Spanish colonial era architecture, but sample incredible local food and take in the scenic seafront.
This Algeria tour can be combined with our Mauritania Iron Ore Train Tour and then onwards to Mali and Burkina Faso tour. Make the most out of your visit to Africa and combine all tours if you're feeling extra adventurous!

Every day is #thanksgiving at this nursery on a collective farm near Wonsan in north #Korea's Kangwon Province. The slogan reads "thank you, respected and beloved General Kim Jong Un."

If you're still lacking new year's plans and are in the mood for ending 2021 and beginning 2022 with a memorable adventure, you still got some time to secure a spot on our upcoming Iraqi #Kurdistan New Year's Tour!
Despite its significance and proximity to probably the most tense area in the world, the Kurdistan region offers not only safety, but beautiful scenery, famed in Middle Eastern literature as a paradise on earth, with more than 3500 archaeological sites, and some of the most friendly and welcoming people on earth.
The trip takes us to the world’s only #Yazidi shrine at #Lalish, before heading north to #Duhok, the #Saddam palace, #Amadiya, the natural beauty of the Rawandas, and then looping around and heading south to #Sulamaniyah before heading back to UNESCO World Heritage Site, #Erbil, checking out lots of cool sights in between.
And if that was not enough for you we celebrate New Year in Kurdistan with dinner in one of Sulyamaniyah's finer restaurants, with drinks, and of course fireworks! Is there a better way to conclude this year and begin the next?
Iraqi Kurdistan is visa free for many nationalities. Whether you are a former Pioneer, or new to us, you can join our epic New Years trip to Kurdistan!

All aboard P-821 #Heroj (Hero), built by the #Yugoslav Navy in the 1960s and used until 1991. It was not officially decommissioned until the mid-2000s, well after the demise of #Yugoslavia. It can be visited today at the Porto Montenegro Museum.

On March 24, 1988, this #McDonalds opened in #Belgrade, #Yugoslavia. It was the first one to open in a #socialist country. It opened 5 days ahead of the very first McDonald's in Korea, which was built ahead of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Khrushchov's Secret Speech in 1956 marked the begi

Khrushchov's Secret Speech in 1956 marked the beginning of the movement to destalinize the #Soviet Union. While most #socialist countries followed suit, others did not. It is well-known that Sino-Soviet relations soured not so long afterwards, with China denouncing the Soviet Union as revisionist (having stripped socialism of its revolutionary content). Less known is the fact that #Albania was another country that took this position, and hence refused to destalinize like other socialist countries around it. It wasn't until the fall of socialism in Albania that #Stalin statues were removed. Here are some statues in #Tirana left from the socialist days. #communism #Hoxha #youngpioneertours #youngpioneers #sovietunion #coldwar

It's no secret that we love trains, whether it's the journey from Beijing to Pyongyang or the Trans-Siberian #railroad. Lesser known to many is the world's longest and heaviest #train - the iron ore train of #Mauritania. So what is it like? Are there hard sleepers? Soft sleepers? Is there a dining car?
The answer is you'll be riding inside of open top cars on top of the minerals, and will camp outdoors in the #Sahara on a moving train overnight as you go from #Choum to #Nouadhibou.
If this is sounds like something you'd want to experience, then you don't want to miss out on our Mauritania Iron Ore Train Tour that begins on January 22 and ends on the 28th. In addition to experiencing this very special and fascinating though admittedly not the most comfortable train ride, you'll also spend time exploring other areas of the country.
