Our driver and tour guide, Sugito or Gito is very punctual, speaks good English and very informative. Wahyu coordinated with us ahead of time regarding the fees to be paid on-site. The fee for Jomblang cave comes with lunch, bottled water, coffee/tea, gear rental (helmet, harness, rain boots which is uncomfortable and unsafe because I saw a lot of people slip). I suggest to bring your own hiking boots for better grip. If you want adventure, this tour is for you. While descending, you'll see rock formations and greeneries around you. It was rainy season when we went to Yogyakarta but we were blessed with good weather on that day. The trek going to the opening was muddy and slippery (tip: bring extra clothes, headlamp). I was in awe when I saw a mist or fog covering the opening. I don't want to spoil the rest...it's for you to find out :)
It was hot, humid and a tiring activity that made our muscles ached but all worth it.
We did not go to Pindul cave since my senior aunts don't want another caving activity, we went to Timang beach instead.
Overall, it was a nice experience. I'll do it again without a doubt.
