TOUR CODE: CAVING 23-709

Embark on an unforgettable adventure exploring the breathtaking Jomblang Cave and witnessing the spectacular sunset at Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano. This tour takes you deep into one of Gunung Kidul’s most famous caves and to the peak of a prehistoric volcano, offering stunning views and a truly unique experience.

Jomblang Cave

Jomblang Cave is one of hundreds of caves in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. It is a vertical collapse doline formed thousands of years ago when the earth’s surface and its vegetation plunged into an underground void, creating a 50-meter-wide sinkhole, known locally as “Luweng Jomblang”.

The Jomblang Cave Experience

One of Jomblang’s most fascinating features is the spectacular "heavenly light"—a natural shaft of sunlight that streams through the cave’s ceiling, illuminating the underground chamber in a mesmerizing display.

Visitors will descend 60 meters into the cave using specialized Single Rope Technique (SRT) equipment, guided by professionals. The adventure involves exploring the underground forest, walking through a tunnel, and reaching the mystical Grubug Cave, where the famous light beams create an unforgettable atmosphere.

Jomblang Cave Tracks

Participants can choose from four different descent tracks:

• VIP Track: 15-meter walkable slope + 20-meter rope descent (easiest)
• Track C: 40-meter rope descent
• Track B: 60-meter rope descent
• Track A: 80-meter rope descent (most challenging)

Important: Jomblang Cave is not recommended for those with a fear of heights or claustrophobia. Comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, and proper preparation are essential.

Jomblang Cave Closure: Closed on March 31 - April 1, 2025, for the Lebaran Holiday (Hari Raya Idul Fitri).

Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano

Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano is a prehistoric volcano, estimated to be over 60 million years old. Its 700-meter-high peak offers one of the best spots to enjoy the sunset over Yogyakarta’s scenic landscape.

• There is a spacious area at the peak, but camping is only allowed at a designated lower area to avoid strong winds.
