A sign board near the Magnetic Hill in Ladakh, India.

Magnet Hill is a gravity hill located, between Khalatse and Leh in Sham district of Ladakh, India. The layout of the area and surrounding slopes create the optical illusion of a hill. The hill road is actually a downhill road. Objects and cars on the hill road may appear to roll uphill in defiance of gravity when they are, in fact, rolling downhill.[1] It is 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) southeast of Nimmoo and 26.5 km west of Leh on Srinagar-Leh road.
