Would you ever imagine the movement of your vehicle up a steep mountain, with its ignition off, at a speed of 20 km per hour? Visit the snow desert of Ladakh to believe it. Located in the outskirts of the 'Little Tibet', the miraculous Magnetic Hill defies all the laws of gravity. The magnetic hill is situated at an elevation of around 14,000 feet above sea level, about 25 km from Leh, on the Leh-Kargil-Batalik national highway and is bordered by the Indus river. The hill is so full of magnetized iron that it has the power to pull any vehicle in its vicinity towards itself. You can see the vehicles not only moving without the engine being turned on, but also defying gravity by climbing uphill.
If this is not enough, the hill has the capability to give a jerk to even helicopters and aircrafts . According to the local people and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnels, the helicopters and aircrafts have to fly at a faster speed while crossing the region to avoid the magnetic impact of the hill. If any aircraft comes within the radius of Magnetic Hill at a slower speed, it starts to jerk.
Apart from this key attraction, the region is visited for colourful hills and mountains. These snow laded hills of the Himalayan region bear different colours (like white, gray, green, red or orange) in different seasons. A few kilometers down the road is Gurdwara Pather Sahib, a Sikh holy shrine, which is maintained by the Indian Army.
Some call the powers of the magnetic hill merely an optical illusion, which has nothing to do with magnetic fields, electricity or unknown forces. They believe that the layout of the surrounding land produces an optical illusion of making a slight downhill slope appear to be an uphill slope. Whatever it is, the legendary powers of the Magnetic Hill draw countless people to the wonderland of Ladakh.
Go through the Ladakh travel Guide and plan a wonderful holiday with your desired adventure travel company in India. The magnetic hill, set amidst the snow desert in Ladakh, offers you the best of attraction of your Ladakh tourism.
