It actually is not for family fun holiday, since it needs an experience, special equipments, and not to mention a brave heart. Extreme adventures can be found at Pegunungan Sewu, Gunung KIdul Regency, where a chain of some 50.000 karsthills perforated with fast caverns, fissures and underground streams, which stretched about 85 km along the south beach of Yogya by The Indian Ocean.
It's named a World Natural Heritage Site in 1994 by The International Union of Speleology 'the exploration and study of caves'. The scientists also discovered nearly 500 caves and tracers of ancient life as well, and concluded that there was a settlement here in The Mesolithic Period (10000 yrs ago ).
Even an Hippopotamus fossil were founded here in Sengok Cave.
For spenlukers, Jamblang Cave and Grubug Cave in Gunung Kidul will be very challenging and thrilling \, since the first chamber to visit is about 75 m drop by rope, after reaching the floor, you will follow the tunnel leading to stalactites and stalagmites as well to a second chamber.
At the bottom of the cave, about 125 m drop, is a rapid river which is heading to the great ocean, The Indian Ocean, where the imaginary Princess of The South is living in her eternal palace.
