Day 2

Yana Caves is a tourist attraction which is just over 45kms from Gokarna . In the middle of the jungle Yana caves are a must visit place because of their stunning views , sculptural cave formations in between the forest. One must walkthrough the forest  for 20-45mns from the entry point in order to reach the view point which is worth visiting. We can walk through the caves watching the cave formations ,which is indeed a different kind of experience . There is one temple underneath the caves . One will definitely enjoy the ride towards Yana Caves because of the curvy roads with sharp turns in forest area. Make sure you load your vehicle with fuel .
