It's situated approximately 30 km from Leh City and is a must-see destination if you're on a trip in the area. What makes Magnetic Hill so popular among tourists is its ability to pull stationary vehicles towards it. Numerous tales and hypotheses have been linked to this peculiar phenomenon, which has transformed it into a must-visit location and a much-needed rest stop for weary travellers on the highway.
Gurudwara Pathar Sahib: Gurdwara Pathar Sahib holds great religious significance for Sikhs. It was constructed in 1517 to honor Guru Nanak's visit to Ladakh. According to legend, while meditating at this site, Guru Nanak was attacked by a demon who threw a boulder at him. Instead of harming him, the boulder turned soft upon touching his body, surprising the demon who then repented and promised to live a peaceful life. Today, the sacred rock is covered with a veil and enshrined in the gurdwara. Devotees are greeted by a white board containing holy verses and the Mool Mantra from the Guru Granth Sahib, the primary Sikh scripture.
