Yana, Gokarna Overview

Yana Caves in Karnataka's Uttara Kannada district are ancient rock formations, millions of years old. These black limestone monoliths rise 390 feet high, deep in the forests of Kumta. Located 50 km from Gokarna, Yana Caves are a place of wonder- ancient, untouched, otherworldly and unlike anything else.

The two massive peaks, Bhairaveshwara Shikhara and Mohini Shikhara, stand like natural towers. They hold religious importance, believed to represent Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Pilgrims visit in thousands, drawn by both faith and the caves’ eerie beauty.

Reaching the caves requires a steep 3 km trek through thick forest and can get slippery during monsoon season. The surrounding village of Yana, with its mud roads and traditional huts, offers a glimpse into the rustic charm of rural Karnataka.

The best part of this tour is the road by which you reach this isolated spot. Covered with thick forest and enigmatic view of the falls and hills is something that won't fade out of your mind easily. (Read More) The road is not for the rookie traveller. You will hardly find any sign of human. But yes once you reach there it will all worth your time and effort.
