Magnetic hill or Gravity hill is an area where the vehicle appears to climb slopes on its own without using any power from engine. If the car is left neutral at certain spots, the car appears to climb the slopes even when we don't press the accelerator.
I myself, had the opportunity to see one of the magnetic hills in the world situated in Jammu and Kashmir state in India.
Magnetic Hill,Transit 46,Leh,India
Lat- 34,11,15N
Long- 77,21,09EAlt-14000ft above sea level
30kms from Leh city on NH-1D,
Situated 30kms from the Leh city, magnetic hill is a well known area of 20m where all types of vehicles are believed to climb up slopes due to allegedly magnetic effect.
On the road, a box is painted and we are told to put our vehicle in neutral gear. Once its done, the vehicle automatically moves back on the road which appears to be slightly elevated and not a downslope. Even if the driver of vehicle steps out, the car automatically moves without using car's engine power.
Aircrafts flying in this area at low levels have reported that they witness magne
tic interference in this area.
WHAT IS BELIEVED- MAGNETIC HILL IS THE NAME OF THIS AREA as people here think that there is a strong magnet either in the above box or in the mountains here which pull the vehicles towards them.

LEFT- SITUATED AT THE FAR END OF THE ROAD IS THE MAGNETIC HILL. THIS IS APX 20M AWAY FROM THE SPOT. THE VEHICLE GETS PULLED STRAIGHT.

RIGHT- THIS IS THE BOX WHERE IT IS TOLD TO KEEP THE CAR IN NEUTRAL GEAR. ONCE DOWN, THE CAR INSTEAD OF MOVING AHEAD FROM THIS POINT, GOES BACK
Thats why when you reach this place, the board says"The phenomena that defies gravity"
The vehicle is attracted towards the other end of the road and it does move with a speed of about 20km/hr
Almost everyone who passes from here, stops to see the effect
Appearance
Once when you get out of your vehicle and look towards that side where your car gets attracted,you see the road in level and slightly higher.. meaning there is no slope there.
My analysis
I slept on the road and tried to look the level of the road though I didn't carry a level pipe. I personally found that when you lie on the road, you see a partial slope that side which when you get up and stand in normal position, doesn't appear.
II. No magnetic field or so called Magnetic effect
I had carried a well defied Magnetic compass with me which is used to see direction. But many must have noted that if a magnet or magnetic substance is in presence of the compass.,the needle deflects. If other than the Earth's natural magnetic poles, there are some magnets either in the box or in hills then the needle should have deflected and should have shown a different North-South Direction.
With the magnetic and a travel map, I started checking the magnetic needle N-S direction from town Nimu which is about 10kms from this spot. when approaching the magnetic hill,from NIMU towards LEH North direction appears on our left side while south appears on right side. Since I was checking the realtime direction along with notifying the road curves, I didn't find any magnetic deflection happening in the Magnetic field area.
This concluded that there isn't any magnet in the mountains. Then I took the compass in that box painted on the road and found that there is a zero deflection of the needle
This concluded that there is no extra magnet in the area which is so powerful to pull cars. If it w'd have been, then it w'd have deflected the needle as it does in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE
ANALYSIS
Since the magnetic hill is covered by tall mountains on all its sides, it appears that our car is climbing the road though there is a downslope at that region. Optical Illusion happens as due to tall mountains and almost a straight road for many kilometers, the sun's rays are reflected back from such slopes and they pass from over the hills due to which it appears that they are coming from upslopes.
When the car is parked in Neutral in the box, then there is actually a slope and massive winds from infront which push the car back and the car accelerates due to the slope

THERE IS A SLOPE ON THE MAGNETIC HILL. DUE TO OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, IT APPEARS AS IF THE ROAD IS UPHILL AND THE CAR CLIMBS IT.
