After a long work week, unnecessary slagging from the boss, and the undefined destiny of our lives, there is only one thing that makes us forget the mundane lives for a bit: Chill out with our loved ones.
It is undoubtedly one the best feeling in the world, aside from pulling their leg. Chilling with friends or loved ones makes our day. No matter how our day was or what we were going through, sharing that time, even a little bit, makes our world go round.
I am sorry if I cannot articulate it much better; the best feelings in the world are often hard to explain.
But I have articulated a perfect list of best places to chill in Andheri so that you can enjoy this feeling for as long as you want.
Andheri In A Nutshell
Andheri is a curious name for an area because of the synonymous word to the Hindi translation for darkness, ‘Andhera.’ Sources suggest that it is named in dissimilarity with the Udaygiri Mountains nearby — which literary means Bright Mountain — that houses the famous Mahakali Caves. Some folklore suggests that the Jogeshwari Caves and the surrounding area were called Andhakagiri, giving a different spin.
There is no definitive answer to it, but Andheri’s rapid development has made it one of the best tourist spots in Mumbai. So for your next trip to Andheri, we’ve got a long list of exciting and chilling places, so you don’t spend hours looking for places to go around.
1. Moroccan Lounge:
What better way to chill with your friends than on a beautiful terrace lounge with a sunset amidst city scrappers. Personally telling you, when there is something on my mind that I want to take off or just chill to get new ideas, this is where I want to be.
They offer various settings, especially for influencers or any event. So make sure you check out and get in touch with one of their correspondents if you want to plan something. This has over the time, become one the best Places to chill in Andheri.

If you have your car, Gilbert Hill is where you need to be. It is not a popular tourist spot, but it deserves a lot more attention. By the way, it is one of the world’s only three monolithic volcanic rock formations. Out of these, two of them are in the United States of America itself.
Surrounded by minimal buildings, Gilbert Hills can surely come off as spooky, but trust me, it’s fantastic. I have been here with my friends only to chill.

A surreal site on the outskirts, Mahakali Caves, is where you want to be very selective of whom you wish to be with.
Mahakali Cave is a group of 19 small caves dating back to the 1st century C.E. These caves did have some depictions of Lord Buddha and other Buddhist mythology inside until some years ago.
Unfortunately, now, most of them are mutilated. Some caves were used by monks as residences, while others served as viharas. Mahakali caves attract those interested in history, but even otherwise, the incredible views from the top of these caves draw a significant crowd, making it one of the best Places to chill in Andheri.

Versova is a fishing village inhabited by Kolis (fisherfolks) in the vicinity of the beach and is famous for its fish trade. The beach is relatively small but extremely popular with the big fish market, and the fish auctions are held at the spot daily. Separated by massive rock boulders, keeping the village safe from the sea waves and tides, Versova beach enchants tourists owing to its natural beauty and surreal horizon views.
The solitude attracts professional photographers and shutterbugs, especially during dawn and dusk, to capture the enchanting panorama and landscape vistas. Besides, the beach offers sports like snorkeling, cycling, horse riding, etc. Moreover, festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi are celebrated with a lot of pomp and show and the season draws tourists in thousands to be a part of the festivities, making it one of the best Places to chill in Andheri.
