Gunungkidul, Administrative region in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The regency stretches across 1,475 square kilometers of limestone mountains and hills, with Wonosari serving as its administrative center at 238 meters elevation.
Archaeological discoveries indicate human settlements in Gunungkidul caves dating back 700,000 years, with evidence of migration paths from Pegunungan Sewu to the southern coast.
The preparation of traditional cassava-based foods like thiwul and gathot reflects the agricultural adaptations of local communities to the limestone environment.
Visitors can access Gunungkidul by taking a flight to Yogyakarta airport, followed by a 70-minute drive through well-maintained roads to reach Wonosari.
The karst landscape contains numerous vertical and horizontal caves, including Jomblang and Pindul, where underground rivers flow through the limestone formations.
