'''Don''' is a [[hill station]] and village in [[Dang District, India|Dang district]] of [[Gujarat]], India. It is touted to be the second hill station in state after nearby [[Saputara]].

==Geography==
Don is situated on a plateau in the Dang forest area of Western Ghats (Sahyadri) range at an altitude of about 1000 meters, higher than the nearby Saputara. It is located 33 km from [[Ahwa]] and 55 km from Saputara. Earlier the hill station was 85 km away but the distance was shortened after the construction of a new road in 2013.<ref name="Thomas 2013">{{cite web | last=Thomas | first=Melvyn Reggie | title=Rise of a new don in south Gujarat | website=The Times of India | date=15 July 2013 | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/surat/Rise-of-a-new-don-in-south-Gujarat/articleshow/21077469.cms | accessdate=26 July 2016}}</ref>
