Yana Caves Sirsi Sahastralinga Tour

Yana Caves Sirsi Sahastralinga Tour

This is indeed one of the best getaways in South India with full of beautiful landscapes, natural wonders, mighty waterfalls & breath-taking Views. Karnataka is truly blessed with many wonderful places to see and we would be taking you to some of those places in this tour.

Yana Caves/Rocks are located in Yana village in North Karnataka. These rocks are two huge monolithic rocks known as the Bhairaveshwara Shikhara and the Mohini Shikhara surrounded by thick forest and they are part of Sahyadri hill range. They are composed of solid black, crystalline karst limestone. Yana is also a well known pilgrimage center because of the cave temple below Bhairaveshwara Shikhara where a Swayambhu linga has been formed.

Along with Yana , we would be visiting Madhukeshwara (Banavasi) temple which is a 9^th century marvel and Sahastralinga which is in the river Shamala and is famous for around thousand lingas carved on the rocks in the river and on its banks.
