Magnetic Hill in Ladakh Defies Gravity

From Zuzu Top:

Have you ever heard of a place on earth that defies gravity? Unbelievable, is it? Nestled in the lap of snow caped Himalayan ranges and silver valleys, Ladakh in India has a Magnetic hill where a vehicle moves up a steep hill even with their ignition off. The Magnetic hill or Gravity Hill is situated at a distance of 30 km from the capital city Leh and is located on the Leh-Kargil-Baltik national highway, at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level.



[ Actually, there are many such places - 1, 2, 3, 4 - including one on Mt. Pendeli, Attica, Greece. ]
