Magnetic Hill

The hill that pulls you uphill

Leh Ladakh · Destination guide

Welcome to Magnetic Hill

On the Leh–Kargil highway a painted box on the tarmac invites you to stop, shift to neutral, and watch your car appear to roll uphill — Ladakh's famous gravity illusion. Pair the photo-stop with Gurudwara Pathar Sahib next door and the Indus–Zanskar confluence at Nimmu for a perfect half-day from Leh.
