Submitted by imeldachristin on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 00:03"Explore the deepth of the earth". That was my friends' offering, which I couldn't afford, to join them on the cave trip underneath the earth's surface. Jomblang Cave and Grubug Cave in Wonosari - Yogyakarta, Indonesia, became our destinations. After we descended about 70 meters into the cave and walked through the tunnel, we saw the most beautiful underground scenery. It's really amazing.
Jomblang Cave is a vertical cave standing on limestone. The mouth of the cave has a width of 50m and a depth of 60 - 80m. Because its mouth is wide enough for the sunlight reaches the bottom of the cave, dense big trees and shrubs grow at the bottom of cave. It looks like an underground forest.
