The mystery of the 'strange' hill: Where the car shuts down still up the slope

Located on the city of Leh on the Leh-Kargil highway in the states of Jammu and Kashmir. India, about 30km is a strange hill that goes against the laws of physics. This is a place that has caused a stir for a long time by strange phenomena, also known as the simple 'magnet hill'.

It is not difficult to find your way to the hill. This place is located at an altitude of 4200m above sea level, welcoming guests with a plate with intriguing content: "Magnetic Hill - The Phenomenon That Defies Gravity" (Magnet Hill - phenomenon of gravity challenge)

The peculiarity of the hill is that, as long as the driver stops the car at the marker at the foot of the slope and turns off the engine, the car still automatically moves to the top of the slope at a speed of about 15-20 km / h.

This is the place where caused a stir for a long time by strange phenomena.

Not only famous for its bizarre nature, the hill is also a tourist attraction in the valley, and also becomes the perfect stop for tired riders traveling on the highway.

In the past, the locals still believed that there used to be a road to heaven. But only those who deserve to go straight to the road. And vice versa, unworthy people will never find no matter how hard they try.

It was from the reputation of the magnet hill that Indian Air Force aircraft turned to avoid magnetism. The theory is that there is power coming from the hill that makes pilots have to elevate when flying over here to avoid magnetic interference.

However, the researchers explained, because the topography here is 4200m above sea level, the air disturbances and unusual weather phenomena occur. This is the reason why pilots want to 'stay away' from this place.

The strange phenomenon on the 'magnet hill' is experienced and endorsed by visitors from around the world. Since then, many theories with scientific explanations to explain antigravity phenomena , in order to prevent many superstitious stories rumored previously.

One theory is that the cars that shut themselves up are simply due to the visual illusion. This illusion made the slope leading to the magnet hill like a mountain. Therefore, many people mistakenly think the car is going uphill, but in fact it is going downhill. In addition, scientists also denied the 'supernatural power' from the hill at Leh.

The magical magnet hill is not the only one that exists in India. In fact, a number of similar landmarks also appear in the US, Canada or Australia.

Whatever the cause, the magnet hill is still a tourist attraction in India. Many visitors document their experiences with interest, and share the best time to visit this place from July to September each year.
