Shree Durga Devi Mandir

A MUST VISIT place in Mumbai.

Location: Andheri West just 5 mins walk from Recreation Club to the base of the hill.

The Gilbert Hill is a geological wonder as it was formed 66 MILLION years ago.
It is about 200 ft high but has good steps to reach the temple on top.
The approach road from Recreation Club or Bhavans College is really bad.
There are 2 stalls selling Pooja Thalis.
The steps were not very difficult to climb & were just like the steps in buildings.
We climbed the steps in 20 minutes taking many breaks but young & fit people can climb in 10 minutes.
On reaching the top of the hill, all the exhaustion of climbing simply vanished on seeing the beautiful temple.
The temple is simple & surrounding area is peaceful & well maintained & has washrooms too.
The temple itself is well maintained having Gaon devi, Durga Devi, Ganpati Bappa & Hanumanji.
The view from the top of the hill is AWESOME.
You can see the sea of Juhu, both the operational metros, literally the WHOLE Andheri, Jogeshwari & even some part of the airport.
Actually you even see the Kohinoor Square of Shivaji park during sunset when the reflection of Sun's rays fall on the glass of the building.

Overall, it is a MUST visit hidden gem of Mumbai.
