30 minutes from the city of Leh and 3650 meters high , there is a sign announcing to drivers the presence of a magnetic hill trapped between the mountains and skies of the Himalayas . In fact, if you decide to take your car up the hill road, possibly the car is towed without using the steering wheel. A phenomenon that has an explanation that weighs down the initial surprise: the optical vision of an absent horizon that gives us the impression of constantly ascending the slope.
