The Terwang caves (Goa Terawang, there are six of them) are situated in a teak forest at 170 m elevation. Even in the dry season the air is relatively cool here.
The roof of the main cave has collapsed in places, therefore you can walk from lighted space to lighted space even without a torchlight.
It is said that in colonial times the Dutch arranged parties here. However, we visited during the wet season, and the bottom was much too muddy to think of partying.
There are fine views and in the vicinity is an artifical lake.

You get here going further inland from the Terawang caves, past Sumberagung village.

Sendang Wangi is near Sumberagung village. Ask for it when you reach this village going inland from the Terawang caves.
