If you're in the western hemisphere and want to experience cave homes without going all the way to Australia I highly recommend Goreme and all of Cappadocia in Turkey. They have hotels built into cave homes thousands of years old, open air museums with cave cities and complexes from thousands of years ago. I went there because my girlfriend wanted to ride hot air balloons but I ended up loving it and being blown away by all the ancient ruins

- prawn 5y agoI also highly recommend that area. My brother and I had an amazing day where we climbed out of the regular paths and walked around for dozens of kilometres exploring valleys and climbing up into remote carved corridors and rooms. Found some incredible terrain. If you're in the USA, you can find something similar to Cappadocia in Bandolier National Monument, New Mexico. Similar geology in the carved volcanic ash/tuff, plus a nice campground within walking distance.
