Magnetic hill is positioned on the Leh-Kargil-Srinagar national highway, about 30 km from Leh, it is famously known as the Gravity Hill. The hill possesses magnetic properties strong enough to pull heavy vehicles uphill. Because of the anti-gravity mechanisms the site has become a popular tourist attraction.

Villagers residing in the magnetic hill of Ladakh believe that there once existed a road that led people to heaven. Those who rightly deserved were pulled to the path directly while those who didn’t deserve could never make it there.

Next comes a sensible theory, which is also the most widespread. It states that there is a strong magnetic force emanating from the hill that pulls vehicles that are within its range. The strange occurrence on the Leh-Kargil highway has been experienced and testified by travelers from across the world. As a matter of fact, the notorious hill has caused planes of Indian Air Force to divert their route in the past to avoid magnetic interference on them.

It is also a city with strong historical links, wonderful British architecture, museums, beaches, places of worship, and above all, a true galaxy of stars where Bollywood reigns supreme. The seven islands that came to constitute Mumbai were earlier home to communities of fishing colonies. For centuries, the islands were under the control of successive indigenous empires before being ceded to the Portuguese and subsequently to the British East India Company.

During the mid-18th century, Bombay was reshaped with the construction of major roads and railways, the reclamation project transformed Bombay into a major seaport on the Arabian Sea. Upon India’s independence in 1947 the city was incorporated into Bombay State. In 1960, following the Sanyukta Maharashtra movement, a new state of Maharashtra was created with Bombay as the capital. The city was renamed Mumbai in 1996. And in this short period of development, the city has transformed into the commercial and entertainment capital of India.

Located along the Northern border of India, a little below the famed Siachen glacier, is the Nubra Valley. A tributary of Indus – Shyok river and the Nubra river (Siachen river) slices through this vale creating three arms between the Ladakh and Karakorum range of mountains. This valley is quite unlike the valleys that one has heard of – green in some parts but a cold desert in many others and a little rocky in some, Nubra Valley in Ladakh surprised me with its textures and colors.

The name Nubra in Ladakhi means Western. The valley was originally called Ldumra which in Tibetan means “Valley of Flowers” – on account of the blossoms that still spring between June to August. The strange contrast of landforms has some interesting facts attached to them.
