Magnetic Hill

The “magnetic hill” is located on the Leh-Kargil-Baltik national highway, about 30 km from Leh, at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level. On its eastern side, flows the Sindhu, which originates in Tibet and goes to the Pakistan. 

This hill in Ladakh region of Kashmir which can pull a car parked in neutral with the speed of 20km per hour. Apparently this happens because the hill possesses magnetic power. Its not just cars but planes that too are attracted by the Magnetic Hills. This is the reason why Indian Air Force has asked pilots to avoid flying over the Magnetic hills. To visit the Magnetic hill, you will have to travel Leh. From Leh, you can hire a local guide who would take you to Magnetic hill. There isn't much to see there.

 Instructions
WARNING. You are on a public road! Obey all traffic signs and rules. Always bring someone to watch for other traffic. Never try the hill when the road is wet and slippery or during inclement winter weather conditions. 

With caution, position your car at a "bottom" of the hill and put your car in neutral. Take your foot off the brake and you will experience the thrill of your car not only climbing the hill by itself, but gaining speed as it goes. Look out for other traffic. 

After trying this natural phenomenon you may question it's causes. Well, I don't want to disappoint you, but whether it is called a Magnetic Hill, Gravity Hill, Mystery Hill or Electric Brae it is an optical illusion. It has nothing to do with magnetic fields, electricity or unknown forces working along mysterious lines.

The Indian Army maintains a sikh Gurudwara near the hill where Guru Nanak Dev, the first of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism, meditated in the 15th century. Due to both the Gurudwara and the gravity hill, the area has become a popular sightseeing destination.
