Kavala Caves are limestone caves located 25 km away from the base camp at Dandeli in Uttara Kanada district.
The Kavala caves are limestones caves located deep inside the Dadeli- Anshi Tiger Reserve. These caves are very tiny in dimension and after climbing down 375 steps one reaches the Cave entrance, and then has to crawl 40 ft deep through winding and have a lot of stalagmite formations. There is a particular huge stalagmite, which is revered by the local people as a Shivling. A temple stands in front of the caves. The naturally formed Shivalinga is a miracle of nature and should not be missed.
