MAGNETIC HILL: Perched at an altitude of 14,000 ft, Magnetic Hill is one of the most intriguing spots in the country. This tiny hillock is said to defy gravity as it tends to pull vehicles upwards. It is quite thrilling to defy the laws of science and be pulled in the opposite direction. The scientific theory states that there is a strong magnetic force emanating from the hills that defies gravity at this particular spot. It is a good pitstop on the highway and serves as a break in between mundane road travel. Do note that it is best to visit between May to September when the road is easily accessible. There is a board that marks the location of the magnetic hill, so it cannot be missed while driving down the highway. Local Ladakhi superstition believes that the road is a straight stairway to heaven.
CONFLUENCE OF THE ZANSKAR: The Indus River originated from the great Himalayan ranges and the Zanskar River originates from the Zanskar ranges. Zanskar River is shiny blue in color, on the other hand, the Indus looks a little green. Zanskar meets Indus in Nimmu Valley from the northeast. This is a scenic view for the visitors and they find it fascinating to mark both rivers even after their confluence
GURUDWARA PATHAR SAHIB: This is a highly revered gem located 25 miles away from Leh town on Kargil Leh Highway. Devoted to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikh Religion, the sacred place beautifully commemorates his visit to Ladakh. Dating back to 1517, the Gurudwara houses a boulder with imprints of the head, shoulders, and backside of Shree Guru Nanak Dev.
