You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:IslandsofBombay1893.jpg|thumb|250px|The islands of Mumbai in an 1893 map, before [[Salsette Island|Salsette]], [[Trombay]], and [[Dharavi]] were merged with Mumbai Island to form [[Mumbai|Greater Mumbai]]]]
[[File:Bombay9.jpg|thumb|Mumbai skyline as seen from Marine Drive]]

'''[[Mumbai]]''' (Bombay) is [[India]]'s most populous city with a population of 20 Million. It is located on [[Salsette Island]] off the coast of [[Maharashtra]]. The original [[Seven Islands of Bombay]] were merged by the [[Bombay Presidency|British]] in the 18th century, to form one large island.

==Hills==
The original [[Seven Islands of Mumbai]] consisted of 22 hills. Most of them were razed to fill in the shallows to connect the islands. The hills still standing today are:

* [[Malabar Hill]] — the highest point in the city
* [[Cumbala Hill]]
* [[Antop Hill]]
* [[Sewri Hill]]
* [[Gilbert Hill]]
* [[Worli Hill]]
* [[Pali Hill]]
* [[Mazgaon Hill]]
* Sion Hill
* [[Mahakali Hill]]
* [[Golanji Hill]]
* [[Pulshachi Dongri]]
* [[Salamati Hill]]
* Kanheri Hill

There are three hill ranges with the city limits. The [[Ghatkopar Hills]] are present near the station of [[Ghatkopar]]. The hill range runs parallel to the [[Central Railway (India)|Central Railway]] track and is inhabited by slums. During the [[monsoon]] season, [[landslide]]s are common. The Trombay Hills occupy a large portion of [[Trombay]] on the eastern part of the city. The highest hill is about ((convert|302|m)) above sea level.

The Powai Hills are present north of the city. The [[Borivali National Park]] occupies most of the region. The [[Vihar Lake|Vihar]] and [[Tulsi Lake]]s are present within the hills. The highest point of the metropolis, at ((convert|450|m)), is located in this region.

==Lakes==
There are three lakes in the city. The [[Vihar Lake]] and the [[Tulsi Lake]] are present within the National Park and supply part of the city's drinking water. The [[Powai Lake]] is immediately south of these two. They are located in central Mumbai.

==Bays==
[[Back Bay (Mumbai)|Back Bay]] is the largest bay in the city. The coastline of Back Bay is an inverted C-shaped region 4 kilometres in length, and [[Marine Drive, Mumbai|Marine Drive]] is located along this stretch. North of Marine Drive is Worli Bay. In the centre of the bay is the tomb of [[Haji Ali]], a 14th-century [[Muslim]] saint. The bay perimeter is about two kilometres in length.

[[Mahim Bay]] is the second largest bay in the city. The [[Mithi River]] empties into the [[Mahim Creek]] which drains into the bay. The border between the city and its suburbs bisects the bay. To the north lies [[Bandra]] and to the south, [[Mahim]].

==Creeks==
Mumbai has numerous creeks with close to 71&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> of creeks and [[mangroves]] along its coastline.<ref>((Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Mumbai-for-Me-Mangrove-makeovers-could-save-greenery/articleshow/12565500.cms|title=Mumbai for Me: Mangrove makeovers could save greenery|first=Sukhada|last=Tatke|date=7 April 2012|access-date=7 April 2012|work=[[The Times of India]]))</ref> The mangroves adjoin broad tidal mudflats adjacent to the city.<ref>((cite journal |last1=Murray |first1=N.J. |last2=Clemens |first2=R.S. |last3=Phinn |first3=S.R. |last4=Possingham |first4=H.P. |last5=Fuller |first5=R.A. |title=Tracking the rapid loss of tidal wetlands in the Yellow Sea |journal=Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment |date=2014 |volume=12 |issue=5 |pages=267–272 |doi=10.1890/130260|url=https://researchonline.jcu.edu.au/60169/1/130260.pdf ))</ref> The [[Vasai Creek]] to the north and [[Thane Creek]] to the east separates [[Salsette Island]] from the mainland. Within the city the [[Malad Creek|Malad]] (or Marve) Creek and the [[Gorai Creek|Gorai]] (or Manori) Creek inundate the suburban region. The Mahim Creek forms the border between the two districts. There are also the [[Mahul Creek]] and the [[Mahim Creek]].

==Islands==
[[File:Bombay 1909.jpg|thumb|Mumbai in 1909]]

Although the islands were merged in the 18th century, islands still dot Thane Creek. [[Elephanta Island]], [[Butcher Island]], [[Oyster Rock]], [[Cross Island, Mumbai|Cross Island]] and [[Middle Ground Coastal Battery|Middle Ground]] are scattered across the Creek. The latter three are uninhabited islets owned by the [[Indian Navy]].

==Rivers==
* [[Dahisar River]]
* [[Poisar River (Poisar-Poinsar River)]]
* [[Chandansar River]]
* [[Oshiwara River]]
* [[Vakola River]]
* [[Gadhi River]]
* [[Mahul River (Mahabali-Mahul River)]]
* [[Mithi River (Mahikavati-Mithi river)]]
