Magnetic Hill

This is a hill where Isaac Newton’s law of gravity does not apply. This hill is 14,000 feet high above the sea level and it is based on the Leh national highway, which is about 35 km from the Leh. As you reach the venue, a certain indication along the highway will invite you to stop over a marked square on the road before you switch off your car while in a neutral gear. When you can follow those instructions, the motor car will appear to roll up the hill without being driven at a low speed of between 10 and 20 kilometers per 60 minutes. The reason for it to happen is nothing strange but due to an illusion that the down to the hill highway is an up mountain road. This situation can also be seen at Kalo mountains of Bhuj.
