Magnetic Hill, Leh Ladakh

 

Magnetic Hill, Leh Ladakh 

The popular Magnetic Hill in Ladakh is a cyclops hill where vehicles defy gravity and move up the hill when parked at the marked spot. To experience this phenomenon, park the car in neutral in the yellow box marked a few metres before the road to Magnetic Hill. From this point, the car will start moving at a speed of 20 km/h. Although there are some myths about the mysterious Magnetic Hill, the fact is that the layout of the area and the surrounding hills are an optical illusion. The road going downhill appears to be a road going uphill, which causes the car to slowly gain momentum and appear to be going uphill against gravity, when in fact it is rolling downhill.
