Consider this: your car can move uphill without any acceleration and if this surprises you, let’s tell you how.
For those who may consider a car sloping downhill as a natural factor, should experience their car moving rather uphill even after turning the engine off to have something thrilling time! The car starts moving upwards at a speed of 10-20 km per hour and that too on an altitude of 14,000 feet above sea level.
India is full of unsolved mysteries. Many mysteries are explained till date but there are few which are still beyond human intelligence, one such being the Magnetic hill, in Ladakh, a strong gravity hill located on the Leh- Kargil- Srinagar highway which is about 50 km from Leh.
The hill is said to have magnetic properties strong enough to pull cars uphill. The car moves in the anti- gravitational direction. Even airplanes have to increase their altitude and speed up in order to avoid magnetic influence.
The local administration of the region has put a board marking the hill to help tourists in recognizing the Magnetic hill. The starting point of the gravitational field is marked by a white paint on the field to park cars in neutral mode and feel the magnetic pull. However, besides the magnetic factor, people also say that it’s purely optical effect caused by the layout of the surrounding. The optical illusion gives the downhill slope, an uphill vision.
In short, it is a thrilling experience and a perfect destination for tourists.
