Huge rock in the middle of Mumbai offers great views

Explo History and Description: 

Big rock (not really hill) in Andheri (60m) which offers you a great view over the city and onto the sea. There is a little temple (kind-of-thing) up there.

A great place to relax for an hour or two. I have never read about it in any tourist guide, nor heard from anyone who’s been up there. Many people from Mumbai don’t even know about it, although it is quite big and noticable. I spotted it once out of a ricksha from the far distance and found my way there.

I always visit at Gilbert Hill with my friends its our best hangout place. It is very peace and clam place. From the peak the view of the city looks awesome.
