Destination Story & Highlights
The Celestial Beam of Heavenly Light
Goa Jomblang is a vertical collapse-sinkhole cave. You will be rappelled down 60 meters in harnesses into a mystical underground ancient forest, then walk through a dark, muddy tunnel to reach Goa Grubug, where a blinding ray of celestial light pierces the ceiling into the deep rushing underground river.
"Formed hundreds of thousands of years ago when the ground collapsed into a vertical limestone sinkhole, Jomblang isolated a pristine prehistoric jungle. Because it was untouched, unique vegetation and mosses thrive inside. Modern locals call the blinding 12:00 PM midday sunbeam "Cahaya Surga" (The Light of Heaven)."
