Magnet Hill is a gravity hill located, near Leh in Leh district of Ladakh, India. [1] 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. [2] It is 7.5 km southeast of Nimmoo and 26.5 km west of Leh on Srinagar-Leh road.
