Things To Know About Magnetic Hill in Ladakh

Magnetic Hill is a popular tourist attraction located in the Ladakh region of India. It is situated on the Leh-Kargil-Srinagar national highway and is about 30 km from the city of Leh. The hill is famous for its optical illusion, which makes it appear as if vehicles are rolling uphill against gravity, when in reality they are rolling downhill. The phenomenon is attributed to the surrounding landscape, which creates a visually deceptive slope. The slope of the hill appears to be an uphill slope, but it is actually a downhill slope. As a result, vehicles seem to be defying gravity as they move towards the Magnetic Hill.

The Magnetic Hill is a popular destination for tourists who come to experience this unique optical illusion and to take photographs of themselves appearing to defy gravity.
