Thank you Sir! 66 Million years' ancient place? Cant believe..Hume yeh pata hi nahi tha, ki Mumbai mein itani purani jagah hai..., Apka bahut dhanyawad ye video banane ki liye..
The problem that since Mumbai is an island it cannot grow horizontally is not a problem at all. It is an excuse by the politicians and builder nexus to build skyscrapers and coastal roads on expensive Mumbai land and even worse bridges and roads in the ocean(e.g. Bandra-Worli sea link) to make quick and huge money at the expense of destroying nature (and its beauty), of sane living in and of sane development of Mumbai. The FSI must be fixed at 1or less and the height of buildings must be fixed at 98 feet or less both depending on the natural underground water-table level (this will control the population explosion and keep population at the right level/square km. Also this will prevent an already worldwide hazardous phenomenon called 'the sick building effect' which leads to death due to cancer, kidney failure, TB, chronic respiratory disorders amongst others. Also this will prevent an already worldwide catastrophe i.e. flooding that happens because higher FSI and taller buildings lead to larger underground foundations of those buildings which leads to less space for water both in the rocky aquifers and the soil which leads to a catastrophic rise in the water-table which leads to flooding. Also this will prevent tripling or quadrupling of electricity bills which happens because tall buildings lead to almost no daylight penetration on the ground or inside the houses or offices which leads to usage of electricity throughout the day for light and air-conditioning which leads to multiple times higher bills. ) . The island (seperated by the Ulhas river) must be connected to its surrounding cities that are Navi Mumbai, Shreesthaan (Thane), Vasai-Virar by bridges across the river ( bridges already existing and also Trans Harbour Link across Ulhas river brack waters near Panvel creek) and further by roads (roads already existing) and metros including 'water metros' (not existing) and 'bus metros' (not existing) and 'train metros' (not existing) to Shreesthaan (Thane), Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Badlapur, Ambernath, Vasai-Virar. Not by making insane coastal roads (including bridges) in the ocean and on the beaches destroying all the open spaces (beaches) and beautiful (happiness-giving) views (the sea, the horizon, the sky, the sunset) and the underwater flora and fauna (including planktons that light up the sea at night) forming the entire seaface. The Worli Seaface is gone. Completely desecrated. There must not be any bridge in the ocean (from Bandra to Versova: Stop the desecration of Juhu Seaface with immediate effect. Save Juhu Seaface a 7 km long seaface, which is the most visited beach in Sindhusthaan, with immediate effect ) or on the beaches or shore areas or hills/mountains, to obstruct and hinder beautiful views from the beaches or from anywhere inland. There must be unobstructed, unhindered views,as there are now, (except the Bandra-Worli Sea Link plus a new addition now the coastal road which makes ugly the view from Bandra, Mahim, Worli). Also from such beautiful places as beaches, seashores and others, the skyscrapers must not be visible. Mumbai is the number 1 tourist (local i.e. from the city, from the state, national, international) destination in Sindhusthaan because of its hills including Andheri (Andhra Giri or Dongar which is 200 feet tall, monolithic, mesozoic era, 6.6 crore years old, the only one inside a city in the whole world, one of the only two anywhere in the whole world, heritage site ), 6 rivers (Ulhas river which forms the Shreesthaan i.e. Thane creek and the Vasai creek to form the Shatshasti island, Mahim river i.e. the so-called mithi river, the Oshiwara river, the Shreesthaan (Thane)/Mulund river, the Dahisar river, the Poisar river), streams+ tributaries+ rivulets (nalas) all over the city, 19 beaches, 104 sq km National park, Thane creek National wildlife sanctuary, Aarey colony (including forests which the Modi/Fadnavis gov converted into a development zone from a no-development zone to build the metro 3 car shed by passing a legislation i.e. law after the courts and the National Green Tribunal stopped their work, Chhota Kashmir garden, film city's lake), mangrove forests, wetlands (including 'khaadis' and mangroves along the nalas), natural and heritage man-made saltpans, more than 88 lakes, 150 ancient caves, more than 950 gardens and parks of Mumbai, playgrounds (maidans), sports complexes, swimming pools, recreation clubs, stadiums, beaches of Vasai-Virar, Palghar and Raigad amongst other tourist attractions. The value of Mumbai's natural resources of aesthetic concern and/or man-made tourist attractions must be conserved by not making man-made structures (including skyscrapers, transportation infrastructure ) near it or visible from its location. People of Maharashtra must go to court and also do an andolan against the gov (Modi gov, Gadkari gov, Fadnavis gov, Shinde gov or Thackeray gov or Gandhi gov or Pawar gov or any gov) that plans and permits such purposeful desecration of natural beauty and, with immediate effect, get a permanent ban on desecration of and a permanent law for protection of natural beauty of our heritage state that is Maharashtra.

Nice video Soddharth. Mumbai has beautiful Shiv temples from Babulnath to Kashi Vishweshwar in Matunga. All of them built before 1800. Starts with Babulnath, then Markandeshwar (beautiful temple next to Poonam chambers), Neelkantheshwar, Worli, Kedarnath Worli, and than Kashi Vishwanath Matunga...

Another point that connects Gilbert Hill story is unique temple of God Ghodapdeo (behind Rani baugh or Mumbai Zoo). Just to add...During this event of volcano eruption, drops of solidified lava were also formed. These lava drops are now smeared with sendhur and is venerated as God Ghodapdev. Another site that dates 66 Mn years back in Mumbai.

Very well made video, I can sense your deep interest in the history of the place which has made my interest in history revive. Cannot wait to travel and see these spots in Mumbai! Keep vlogging!
Superb information. Being a Mumbaikar I didn't knew about Gilbert hill. I ll visit this place soon. Thank u for showing different perspective of amchi Mumbai🎉
Hi Siddharta, happy to chance upon your vlogs today. I started with the Pune food tour. Couldn't help think, there is so much pav and bread in it, (which seems kind of like a colonial influence (?)) and no puranpoli! The thali deserved more detailing I felt. I've lived and studied in Mumbai for two years, and did not know anything you showed in this video, thank you for spreading this awareness. Did make it to Elephanta some 16 years later though. Glad to know MTDC is making efforts to put Gilbert Hill on the city tour circuit. Happy travels and more vlogging to you!
After Mahankali you should have visited the epitome of ancientness, the Kanheri caves. 1st century Buddhist caves. Lovely marvellous architecture. and you can easily get lost in 109 caves easily esp lovely in Monsoons.
Kanheri Caves are indeed my favourite in Mumbai as well especially during the monsoons. I covered it on my blog a few years back but must visit again to cover on the vlog too…
Mumbai looks fascinating! It's funny that I I'm reading Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and there's a whole part where he explains some of the history of Mumbai! Super interesting. Thanks for sharing the city with the world.
Thank you! I just covered the Mahakali Caves as I hadn’t visited this one yet to represent this era. I’ve been to both Elephanta and Kanheri - must visit again to make videos about them too! 🙌
3:01 The name bombay is a portuguese word given to th bay: 'Bom bahia' that meant bom=good & bahia= bay. This was later given in dowry to british and name became bombay!

The Buddhist history feels incomplete though. There are 2 more cave systems that were a part of the Buddhist era - Kenheri & Mandapeswar. Would love to see you explore Kenheri caves someday. And if you ever feel like exploring the cave, I would love to accompany you
You are right, there’s a lot more, including the iconic Elephanta Caves close by. I’ve covered many Buddhist sites on the channel but not Kanheri (covered that on my blog though). I do have an interesting idea for a video Mumbai next time I’m around - let’s see how that works out…
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms I would have loved it if there is a tiny possibility pls do it. This was an awesome video. Great work. Never been to Mahakali Caves and Gilbert Hill. I will visit them sometime soon! Thank you for sharing!
@@zankhanabroker there’s more than a tiny possibility - it’s been on my mind for long. I do need to do a lot of background work send research before I take it up though 🙌
Siddharthaji i’ve planned trip to mizoram for 7 days with your contact mr shahnawazji he has given me 50000 quote and that is excluding flight and food is it the price ok?!
Hello Krunal - I really can’t comment on the quote as it really depends on what you plan to do there. I took suggestions from Shahnawaz but eventually planned my trip while I was there. I do like to change the plans as I’m travelling based on what I hear and see, but not everyone likes travelling that way. Wishing you a great trip there 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for sharing. However, I do not think the name Bombay/ Bambai has any connection to King Bimbisar who was Buddha’s contemporary. Geographically, King Bimbisar was ruled from present day Bihar.
Bombay was named as Bom-baim by the Poruguese... It means beautiful Sea...... Check Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa..... The British corrupted the Poruguese Bombaim to Bombay. In Marathi mother is caller Aai. Mumba + Aai = Mumbai (Mumba Mata) 🙏
Amazing Videography (grips me to watch)... Too much filler talk (makes me wanna skip 100 times).. Eg: "excessive build up, ye secret hai, tab bataunga, jab bataunga, bohot exciting, inspirational, aarti miss kr gya etc etc". Bro please be clear. If you say it's a story about Mumbai, we are here to watch, don't make a personal vlog.. not cool! There was literally 10% info & 90% gup gup.... If you want to make a vlog on your time in Mumbai or your take on Mumbai, start with that (caption it likewise), totally fine & you'll get that audience. But don't claim A and take a ride for Z. Please take it constructively. Feedback was not meant to discourage good work.
I appreciate the feedback. And yes you are right, it’s a personal vlog like all the videos on my channel - I don’t pretend to make anything else. But I guess for someone new here, that may not be obvious…
They do know about it, but natural heritage isn’t high on anyone’s priority list unfortunately. We already lost other similar hills in Mumbai and this one’s saved perhaps because of the temple on top…
Thank you Sir! 66 Million years' ancient place? Cant believe..Hume yeh pata hi nahi tha, ki Mumbai mein itani purani jagah hai..., Apka bahut dhanyawad ye video banane ki liye..

Thank you ❤️❤️🙌🙌
Very interesting stories
Glad you think so! 🙌🙌
The problem that since Mumbai is an island it cannot grow horizontally is not a problem at all. It is an excuse by the politicians and builder nexus to build skyscrapers and coastal roads on expensive Mumbai land and even worse bridges and roads in the ocean(e.g. Bandra-Worli sea link) to make quick and huge money at the expense of destroying nature (and its beauty), of sane living in and of sane development of Mumbai.
The FSI must be fixed at 1or less and the height of buildings must be fixed at 98 feet or less both depending on the natural underground water-table level (this will control the population explosion and keep population at the right level/square km.
Also this will prevent an already worldwide hazardous phenomenon called 'the sick building effect' which leads to death due to cancer, kidney failure, TB, chronic respiratory disorders amongst others. Also this will prevent an already worldwide catastrophe i.e. flooding that happens because higher FSI and taller buildings lead to larger underground foundations of those buildings which leads to less space for water both in the rocky aquifers and the soil which leads to a catastrophic rise in the water-table which leads to flooding.
Also this will prevent tripling or quadrupling of electricity bills which happens because tall buildings lead to almost no daylight penetration on the ground or inside the houses or offices which leads to usage of electricity throughout the day for light and air-conditioning which leads to multiple times higher bills. ) .
The island (seperated by the Ulhas river) must be connected to its surrounding cities that are Navi Mumbai, Shreesthaan (Thane), Vasai-Virar by bridges across the river ( bridges already existing and also Trans Harbour Link across Ulhas river brack waters near Panvel creek) and further by roads (roads already existing) and metros including 'water metros' (not existing) and 'bus metros' (not existing) and 'train metros' (not existing) to Shreesthaan (Thane), Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Badlapur, Ambernath, Vasai-Virar. Not by making insane coastal roads (including bridges) in the ocean and on the beaches destroying all the open spaces (beaches) and beautiful (happiness-giving) views (the sea, the horizon, the sky, the sunset) and the underwater flora and fauna (including planktons that light up the sea at night) forming the entire seaface. The Worli Seaface is gone. Completely desecrated. There must not be any bridge in the ocean (from Bandra to Versova: Stop the desecration of Juhu Seaface with immediate effect. Save Juhu Seaface a 7 km long seaface, which is the most visited beach in Sindhusthaan, with immediate effect ) or on the beaches or shore areas or hills/mountains, to obstruct and hinder beautiful views from the beaches or from anywhere inland.

Nice video Soddharth. Mumbai has beautiful Shiv temples from Babulnath to Kashi Vishweshwar in Matunga. All of them built before 1800. Starts with Babulnath, then Markandeshwar (beautiful temple next to Poonam chambers), Neelkantheshwar, Worli, Kedarnath Worli, and than Kashi Vishwanath Matunga...
Thanks for sharing! I would love to do one more video and perhaps cover some of these as well - your comment will be very handy 🙌

Another point that connects Gilbert Hill story is unique temple of God Ghodapdeo (behind Rani baugh or Mumbai Zoo). Just to add...During this event of volcano eruption, drops of solidified lava were also formed. These lava drops are now smeared with sendhur and is venerated as God Ghodapdev. Another site that dates 66 Mn years back in Mumbai.

Very well made video, I can sense your deep interest in the history of the place which has made my interest in history revive. Cannot wait to travel and see these spots in Mumbai! Keep vlogging!
Thank you so much! And yes, I absolutely love history and also researching about it ☺️
One of best and short but sweet info. Related to Mumbai history. Thank you for info.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)
Superb information. Being a Mumbaikar I didn't knew about Gilbert hill. I ll visit this place soon. Thank u for showing different perspective of amchi Mumbai🎉
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
Like the way you present. No screaming no roaring. And soothing background music
Thank you 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Hi Siddharta, happy to chance upon your vlogs today. I started with the Pune food tour. Couldn't help think, there is so much pav and bread in it, (which seems kind of like a colonial influence (?)) and no puranpoli! The thali deserved more detailing I felt. I've lived and studied in Mumbai for two years, and did not know anything you showed in this video, thank you for spreading this awareness. Did make it to Elephanta some 16 years later though. Glad to know MTDC is making efforts to put Gilbert Hill on the city tour circuit. Happy travels and more vlogging to you!
Thank you Siddharth .this video is beautiful …as usual well researched.
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
Wow Interesting story 👌& thank you for this extremely informative vlogs🙌🙌
You are most welcome Juhi :)
Such a great way to explore Mumbai 👌❤️
Indeed! And thank you for doing such a fabulous job with editing it :)
Thanks for sharing this with us
🙌🙌🙌
Loved the video and the storytelling 👏🏼
After Mahankali you should have visited the epitome of ancientness, the Kanheri caves. 1st century Buddhist caves. Lovely marvellous architecture. and you can easily get lost in 109 caves easily esp lovely in Monsoons.
Kanheri Caves are indeed my favourite in Mumbai as well especially during the monsoons. I covered it on my blog a few years back but must visit again to cover on the vlog too…
Great content bro keep going ❤
Thank you so much!
Mumbai looks fascinating! It's funny that I I'm reading Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and there's a whole part where he explains some of the history of Mumbai! Super interesting. Thanks for sharing the city with the world.
That’s a wonderful - for a long time it was my favourite book ever! 🤩 Mumbai’s history is indeed fascinating and full of layers…
Nice video, but I was expecting Kaneri caves and Elephanta caves as well 😮
Thank you! I just covered the Mahakali Caves as I hadn’t visited this one yet to represent this era.
I’ve been to both Elephanta and Kanheri - must visit again to make videos about them too! 🙌
3:01 The name bombay is a portuguese word given to th bay: 'Bom bahia' that meant bom=good & bahia= bay. This was later given in dowry to british and name became bombay!

Very nice one ☝️
Thank you so much!
The Buddhist history feels incomplete though. There are 2 more cave systems that were a part of the Buddhist era - Kenheri & Mandapeswar.
Would love to see you explore Kenheri caves someday. And if you ever feel like exploring the cave, I would love to accompany you
You are right, there’s a lot more, including the iconic Elephanta Caves close by. I’ve covered many Buddhist sites on the channel but not Kanheri (covered that on my blog though).
I do have an interesting idea for a video Mumbai next time I’m around - let’s see how that works out…
There's Jogeshwari caves too.
@@grandcanyon1000 Indeed - Mumbai has many Buddhist caves. I visited this one to showcase the era...
Very nice
Thanks so much!
Extremely Beautiful .. location name's flashing on the video please
You miss more older caves than this from Mumbai, which is in jogeshwari. Jogeshwari caves.
If you from Mumbai then make blogs on it😊
I would love to visit and vlog about these caves. Thank you for the suggestion 👍
Dwarka ka video kb ayega sir please upload fast
I’m at the pre-production stage right now. It’ll take sometime for the Dwarka video 🙌
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms ok sir and thank you much for reply 😊 ap ese hi videos bnate rho apke videos bnane ka style bhut accha he sir
You are making amazing videos
Thank you so much Anupam 🙏
pls do unknown temples in Mumbai
I do have a list of temples for this - unfortunately I don’t live there anymore :(
@@SiddharthaJoshiFilms I would have loved it if there is a tiny possibility pls do it. This was an awesome video. Great work. Never been to Mahakali Caves and Gilbert Hill. I will visit them sometime soon! Thank you for sharing!
@@zankhanabroker there’s more than a tiny possibility - it’s been on my mind for long. I do need to do a lot of background work send research before I take it up though 🙌
❤❤❤
Thank you!
i hope the "Gilbert Hill" remains the "Gilbert Hill" till the end.
What a bansuri instrumental.
Love you brother I wish One day i will meet you (bohot dino se follow kar raha hu)
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Siddharthaji i’ve planned trip to mizoram for 7 days with your contact mr shahnawazji he has given me 50000 quote and that is excluding flight and food is it the price ok?!
Hello Krunal - I really can’t comment on the quote as it really depends on what you plan to do there. I took suggestions from Shahnawaz but eventually planned my trip while I was there. I do like to change the plans as I’m travelling based on what I hear and see, but not everyone likes travelling that way. Wishing you a great trip there 🙌🙌🙌
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aap rahte kaha ho mumbai mai
I don’t live in Mumbai - I live in Bangalore now 👍
Mumbai = mumba=amba=laxmi ai= aai= aai not artificial intelligence
Bombay= bambai=Raja Bimbi saar
Thanks for sharing. However, I do not think the name Bombay/ Bambai has any connection to King Bimbisar who was Buddha’s contemporary. Geographically, King Bimbisar was ruled from present day Bihar.
Bombay was named as Bom-baim by the Poruguese... It means beautiful Sea...... Check Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa.....
The British corrupted the Poruguese Bombaim to Bombay.
In Marathi mother is caller Aai.
Mumba + Aai = Mumbai
(Mumba Mata)

Vlog is good. But there should be less talking and more info. Info is less and unnecessary talking is too much.
Thanks for the feedback - this is helpful 🙌🙌

ITS BOMBAY YAAR….
Amazing Videography (grips me to watch)...
Too much filler talk (makes me wanna skip 100 times)..
Eg: "excessive build up, ye secret hai, tab bataunga, jab bataunga, bohot exciting, inspirational, aarti miss kr gya etc etc".
Bro please be clear. If you say it's a story about Mumbai, we are here to watch, don't make a personal vlog.. not cool! There was literally 10% info & 90% gup gup.... If you want to make a vlog on your time in Mumbai or your take on Mumbai, start with that (caption it likewise), totally fine & you'll get that audience. But don't claim A and take a ride for Z.
Please take it constructively. Feedback was not meant to discourage good work.
I appreciate the feedback. And yes you are right, it’s a personal vlog like all the videos on my channel - I don’t pretend to make anything else. But I guess for someone new here, that may not be obvious…
Its upsetting, how such religion disappear from india
Why you are showing yourself in entire video, we are here to see the site not you.
You are right but unfortunately I didn’t have a cameraman so I could only do this much 👍👍👍
bombay not ok
Indian government ko Gilbert hill k bare me pata he nahi aukat nahi government ki 😡
They do know about it, but natural heritage isn’t high on anyone’s priority list unfortunately. We already lost other similar hills in Mumbai and this one’s saved perhaps because of the temple on top…
Pehele bhaiya log potty jaate thye caves me 😡😡😡
😢
Very interesting stories
Indeed! Mumbai is full of stories 😍
