Gunung Kidul

Tucked away in Yogyakarta’s southeastern region, Gunung Kidul is where raw nature and quiet adventure come together. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, hidden beaches, and underground wonders, the area offers a completely different side of Yogyakarta—one that’s wild, serene, and unforgettable.

The name "Gunung Kidul" means "Southern Mountains," a fitting title for its rugged hills and karst formations. Once considered remote and arid, it has transformed into a top destination for nature lovers. Explore the stunning Jomblang Cave with its heavenly light shaft, relax at pristine beaches like Indrayanti or Drini, and hike through lush valleys and ancient forests.

With its tranquil charm, eco-tourism vibe, and endless outdoor activities, Gunung Kidul is perfect for those looking to unplug, breathe deeply, and discover nature’s raw beauty.
