Magnetic Hill – A gravity-defying hill that creates an optical illusion

Magnetic Hill is one of Ladakh’s most fascinating natural phenomena. Located on the Leh–Kargil highway, this spot creates the illusion that vehicles can roll uphill against gravity. When a car is placed in neutral on the designated spot, it seems to move upward on its own.

This unusual effect is caused by an optical illusion created by the surrounding slopes and landscape. Whether you’re scientifically curious or just intrigued by nature’s mysteries, visiting Magnetic Hill is an exciting and fun experience. It’s also a popular stop for road trippers and bikers traveling through Ladakh.
