mountain ranges, the Zangskar, and Stok Kangri
across the Indus Valley.

in ruins as of today, and houses splendid
collection of coins and stamps.

Sankoo
Situated at about 42 kms south of Kargil, it's a
bowl-shaped valley, boundried by rocky mountains.
The young town houses a small bazaar, dense
plantations of wild roses, willows, poplars, and
lush-green barley fields, offering a divine sight.
There are several isolated villages nearby.

The Magnetic Hill
11,000 feet
Situated at about 50km from Leh, this hill is
believed to have magnetic properties, it tends to
pull cars uphill.
Aircrafts passing by increase their altitude to
escape interference in flight. In real, it's
merely an optical illusion, and there is no
magnetic disturbance.
