6. Get pulled uphill by magnetic force - Magnetic Hill, Ladakh.

At an altitude of 11000 feet above sea level, Magnetic Hill is one of the must-see things on the wayto Leh. It is known to have magnetic power that can pull a car towards itself even when the ignition is off.  It is a thrilling experience, but in reality, it is only an optical illusion caused by gravity hill. Magnetic Hill is one of the world's recognized gravity hills.
