This Alomond shape island comes just after you cross the Zojila pass and are almost about to enter Shrinagar. Nature is very creative here.

I assumed leh palace to be like the other rajasthan palaces i have seen. They are nice strcutures with some ornamental artwork on walls which remind you of the great past. Leh palace was a ruin, It is currently undergoing renovation. Myself and prashant were the only 2 brave souls who ventured over some precarious ladders to reach its very top.

Magnetic Hill- Believe it or not

Magnetic Hill came just a few kilometers outside Leh on our Leh--shrinagar trip. Somehow prashant knew about this hill but we were not sure wheter such a thing really exists.. or can it even exist. I thought it to be some rumor. Then we asked the driver and he confirmed that such a place exists and then i got even more confused.

When we reached the place I was still very sceptic, then we parked the vehicle in the spot that was marked on the road, and as soon as the driver started the Sumo, it started moving ahead uphill...

For the cynics, i have the video, this is RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!
