Jomblang Cave Tour (FAQs)
Jomblang Cave sits in Gunung Kidul, about two hours from Yogyakarta City by car. Most tour companies—ours included—pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel in Yogyakarta, so you don’t have to worry about the ride.
Yep, you’ll need to rappel down 60 meters to get inside. Don’t stress, though. A pro guide handles all the ropes and keeps things safe while you make your way down.
Wear comfy, athletic clothes you’re okay getting muddy. Don’t worry about shoes—closed-toe boots with good grip are provided, since you’ll need them for rappelling and walking through the cave.
Kids under 6 can’t rappel, so they’ll have to sit this one out. You’ll also want to be reasonably fit, since rappelling and slogging through the mud take a bit of effort.
Definitely. You’ll have plenty of chances to snap photos, especially at the famous “Light of Heaven” spot. Just make sure to bring a waterproof case for your camera or phone—things can get pretty damp inside the cave.
