 Magnetic Hill


What if we tell you that there is a hill in India where, instead of rolling downwards, things actually go uphill. Never heard of it right? So its time to introduce you to Magnetic Hill!

Magnetic Hill Lying at a distance of around 30 km from Leh, the Magnetic Hill is marked by a yellow signboard which reads “The Phenomenon That Defies Gravity”.It also instructs you to park your vehicles in the box marked with a white point on the road, which is known as the Magnetic Road. When parked at the indicated spot, vehicles begin moving forward at a speed of almost 20km






Gravity Hill  that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope.This is purely a natural optical effect caused by the specific layout of hills that obstruct the horizon. That short stretch of the road that appears to be uphill as a matter of fact is downhill and this is the reason why cars slowly gain momentum. The hills in front of your eyes at this stretch are naturally laid out in such a manner that they will deceive your mind and lead it to believe that you are going up. 



The best time is from July to September to visit Magnetic Hill. The roads are clear at this time of the year and the weather is just right to explore Ladakh and its beauty.
