Amusing Magnetic Hill in Ladakh Defies Gravity - (places, tourism, unbelievable sites, Auckland, David, Lim)

A hill near picturesque Leh has magnetic properties which attracts metallic objects, making vehicles move up at a speed of about 20 km per hour with their engines off.

It is located on the Leh-Kargil-Batalik national highway, about 30 km from Leh town, at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level. On its eastern side, flows the Sindhu, which originates in Tibet and goes to Pakistan.

Not only vehicle, even helicopters and aircrafts feel the same magnetic impact. Locals and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel claim that the helicopters and aircrafts that pass through the area have to fly at a greater speed to avoid the magnetic impact of the hill. And if the aircraft comes within the radius of Magnetic Hill, it starts to jerk.
The area has become a popular sight seeing place also because of the sikh Gurudwara near the hill which is maintained by the Indian Army.  Guru Nanak Dev, the first of the ten Guru of Sikhism had meditated near this hill in the 17th century. The Magnetic wonder combined with religious sentiments makes this place a must visit while travelling to Ladakh.

Famliy Day Trip to Rangitoto Island, Auckland (holiday, sea, cruise, island, ocean, lifestyle

Spent a splendid trip to Rangitoto Island with the Lew Family and mine.  It was very educational and refreshing day out (even though the sun was strong).  We took the tramp pulled by a powerful tractor and learned heaps of new information about this unique volcanic island (there is not insect or earthworm here due to the volcanic soil).  The driver is a typical Kiwi, pleasant, very knowledgeable, takes good care of his passengers.

We took the Fuller's ferry booked and paid online for the day trip.  I would suggest you bring your family there for short day trip, something for a change.

Auckland City View at Sunset, April 02, 2010 (Using Canon DSLR 1000D, "David Lim"

One of the free weekends (yes, only I can afford it after living in Auckland, New Zealand), I drove up to the top of Mt. Eden to capture some late summer's view. Many took for granted to get the chance to move the family to New Zealand, but we do not belong to that category.

Somehow, I managed to linger on that site until the sun went down. The view somehow reminds me of my childhood time (visits to seaside with the family, long time ago)
