Getting there
Yana Rocks is at Yana, Kumta, about 165 km from Udupi. We drive here from Udupi, Manipal, Mangalore, Karkala and Kundapura in cars and tempo travellers, with the driver waiting for as long as you want to stay — no meter running, no hurry to leave.
Entry fees, boat operations and forest-department permissions change with the season and the weather. We will tell you what to expect when you book, but do check locally on the day if the plan depends on a boat running.
