The strange occurrence has been experienced and testified by travelers on the Leh- Kargil highway. As a matter of fact, the notorious hill has caused planes to divert their route in the past to avoid magnetic interference. The Optical Illusion Theory: Another theory says that the hill has no source of magnetic force, and it’s just an optical illusion that makes the downslope of the road leading to the Magnetic Hill Ladakh look like an upslope. So, when you see the vehicle going uphill, in reality, it is going downhill.
