Enjoy a Safe and Fun Cave Trip at Jatijajar Cave Kebumen





A cave is usually associated with a vacation full of adrenalin. When we hear someone “dive in” through a cave, our mind may be creating an image of some people wearing ropes for safety with headlamps for lighting to enjoy the nuance of a cave. It must be terrifying for some people, isn't it? How about enjoying caves in a fun way? Is that even possible? Well, yes, it is more than possible. Jatijajar Cave is designed for tourists to enjoy the nuance of a cave in a fun and safe way. No need to worry about your lives; everything is well prepared!

To get to the cave, we first need to reach Kebumen Regency. You may book a train seat at Kebumen Train Station, then continue to Jatijajar Cave by vehicle, or you may directly use your vehicle from your home. To be precise, this cave is located at Jatijajar Village in the Ayah District. From the train station, it will take an hour to reach the cave by car. If you love to challenge yourself, you can also walk from the station for 7 hours to reach it. Well, it is definitely a joke. But kudos if you want to do it! Anyway, the location already exists on Google Maps, so your worry about getting lost should not be an obstacle to enjoying Jatijajar Cave.

            To enter the cave, you need to purchase an entrance ticket. There are two categories available: adults and kids. For adults, the ticket will be IDR 12.000 for weekdays and IDR 13.000 on weekends. For kids, it will cost IDR 5,000 on weekdays and IDR 6,000 on weekends. Remind yourself that this tourist spot is open at 07.30 AM and will be closed at 04.00 PM every day.

By purchasing that very affordable ticket, you can enjoy the cave, breathe through the mild air, discover the beauty of stalactites and stalagmites, and also listen to the legend that speaks to you. I am not trying to be mystical, but this cave is not just a tourist destination! You will find some statues of the characters that existed in the folklore related to the Jatijajar Cave. Moreover, this cave has seven sendang (springs). The famous one is Sendang Kantil. It is believed that the water from Sendang Kantil will bring luck to our lives. There is also Sendang Mawar, which is believed to offer eternal beauty. As the legend, the springs add a more natural feel through their gurgling sounds.

Exploring the cave will take several minutes, and the tour guide will give you plenty of time to capture your moment in the cave. Your trip will be enjoyable since the cave is equipped with a lamp, stairs, and a banister.

When you have finished exploring the cave, your next step is to explore the craft stalls available along the way. The stalls offer cute and colorful bags, beaded bracelets, batik clothes, jars, wooden ornaments, and even mortar! You did not read it wrong. Mortar from Kebumen is high quality. Mothers love to bring mortar home after visiting this cave. If you are more interested in food, some stalls offer Indonesian snacks at affordable prices, you can also try pecel mendoan, a dish consisting of vegetables and tempeh that is fried with flour and served with peanut sauce. Plus, you can challenge your skill at bargaining here. What are you waiting for? Let’s pack your bag to enjoy a healthy, funny, and yummy vacation at Jatijajar Cave!

Cara Mendaftar Kuliah di UNY Melalui Jalur RPL

                           Mendaftar kuliah lanjutan setelah lulus D3 menjadi salah satu hal yang cukup melelahkan bagi saya.

Hi! Welcome!

Today, I can't sleep even though it's nearly 3 AM. Maybe it happens because of a half glass of coffee. I really want to sleep, but somehow because of this situation, I can sit alone in the dark in my room, with no noise appear. Then, there are many old memories come to me, one by one. Most of them are cheerful memories, when I got what I wanted, when I won a competition, and when I shared my time laughing together with my family and friends. I'm grateful to have all of them and I'm happy with the fact that I still remember the warm atmosphere that belongs to them.  However, there are several bad memories too. Even though it all has passed, I still can feel the worry, anger, and sorrow. I'm turning 20 years now, but there are too many wishes of mine that haven't become true yet. Now, I'm going to live out my dream, to do what I love; writing. This blog will be filled by my thoughts and my diary that wrote both in English and Indonesian. I do hope you will get...
