As mentioned before, the shape is similar to Borobudur Temple. The locals even call it “a cave of a thousand temples”.

The age of Langir Cave has reached more than a thousand years. No wonder, the stalagmite, and stalactite emit a wondrous aura. If you come with a local guide, he may limit the distance of exploration. Usually, it is about 50-60 meters from the mouth of the cave. Why is that? According to the locals, there are dangerous things ahead. These include poisonous gas and big snakes. Once you enjoy your time inside, it is time to head back to the beach. Overall, the combination of the beach and the cave is definitely amusing.
