Eastward Java
The stalactites dangling from the Gong Cave ceiling resemble a curtain, some reaching all the way to the cave's floor. Stalagmites tower upward from the ground, some reaching the ceiling, others stopping halfway. Water runs down between some of the stalactites. The drops form tiny pools or springs. The locals have names for some of them, such as Kamulyan Spring, Larung Nista Spring, Panguripan Spring and Jampi Raga Spring.
Though they lie 260 meters below the surface, the panoramic caves of Bomo village, East Java, are easy to enjoy. The Pacitan Regency government has fitted out the natural wonder with colorful lights. Green, blue, white and red LED lighting changes every two minutes, illuminating the limestone formations.
