Magnetic hill – The magical mountains of Ladakh

Magnetic hill is one of the famous offbeat destinations of India. In reality, it is just the optical illusion effect and there is no magnetic disturbance at all. 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. This self-profound magnetic hill is one of the popular stops for domestic tourists to experience nature mysterious ways.
