One thing that is a must when you explore Yogyakarta, Indonesia is to visit Jomblang Cave. Jomblang Cave is a deep vertical cave that is famous for the view of the sunlight coming through the hole that looks like heaven-sent. Situated 10 kilometers from the city of Wonosari and 40 kilometers from Yogyakarta, the destination provides only a kilometer of smooth asphalt road to the parking location; the rest of the trip is nothing but rocky grounds. The cave that has a diameter area of 50 meters was first discovered in 1984 by Acintyacunyata Speleological Club (ASC), a group of cave explorers from Yogyakarta.

Many tourists have visited Jomblang Cave, including those hailed from Europe, United States, China, Singapore and Malaysia. Entering the cave requires a bit of an effort, as you will need to wear safety helmet and a rope. Using rope, visitors take turns to go down to the cave; only a maximum of two people are allowed in a single batch. After being lowered down into the cave, you must hike down into the cave. The hike isn’t too strenuous going down, but depending on what kind of shape you are in, could be a different story going up in order to leave.

Inside the cave, there are photographers who are ready to take your photos. The photos will be printed and sold at the registration hut where lunch is also provided. You can also bring your own camera. Inside the cave, visitors will see plenty of growing plants; even its limestone walls are covered with shrubs.

After exploring the Jomblang Cave, you can continue the journey by walking through a 500-meter alley that will lead you to another vertical cave called Grubug Cave. Arriving at Grubug Cave, your eyes will meet the view of two huge green-brownish stalagmites. If you can reach the cave by 1 p.m. you will get to see a stunning view of the sun shines through the darkness of Grubug Cave. There are a tone of things to do in Indonesia, but this is an absolute must for anyone who’s into canyoning.
