Dang district of Gujarat is full of green forests and amid the forests, Dang has number of tourism places. Most of the tourism spots are, however, unknown to majority of tourists.
I started exploration of Dang in August 2014. The first spot I chose was Don Hill Station. In fact, I started this blog from writing article on Don. The post has received ultra response and then it all started.
By December 2015, I’ve been to almost every place in Dang forests. And I still wouldn’t miss any opportunity. 🙂
This article is a collection of all the places that I’ve visited in Dangs till now.
