Magnetic hill is located near Leh in Ladakh. It is 7.5 km southeast of Nimmoo and 26.5 km west of Leh on Srinagar-Ladakh road.
There are two theories that can explain the reason behind this uphill movement. The most common one is that the hill has a strong magnetic force which is why it pulls vehicles in the vicinity. In fact, so strong is this magnetic force that planes of the Indian Air Force avoid this route so that they don’t face magnetic interference on their devices.
Another equally popular theory is that of an optical illusion.
According to this, the hill does not really have a magnetic force but
it just creates an optical illusion of sorts so that the road, which
actually goes downhill, seems as if it goes uphill. Therefore, when
you see the vehicle going upslope, it is actually the opposite and
does not defy the laws of nature.
