The Magnetic Hill is located on the Leh-Kargil-Baltik National Highway, about 30 km from Leh , at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level. Scientist says that "We believe the geographical location of the hill, at a high altitude of about 14,000 feet, ensures that a significantly high dosage of radiation is received. As per records, Leh receives the highest radiation for any place on Earth, hence the effects are also significant. So we can attribute the fluctuations in magnetic intensities to the geomagnetic interactions with radiation. In support of the above, we observed noticeable fluctuations of magnetic fields especially during the day, relative to the night at the same place" .
