Building bridge is never easy even if you build smallest one, especially for people who do not have tools to do that properly. Nature amazed us once again with those ‘living bridges’ which are growing in India’s rainforests.
Here you can see the photos of ‘living bridges’ that were grown in Cherraphunji, Meghalaya, India. Ficus elastica is the plant that produces secondary roots and those bridges are formed by them naturaly. Some local tribes use them like real bridges during the rainy season when floods are often.
Have you ever heard of a place on earth that defies gravity? unbelievable, is it? Nestled in the lap of snow caped Himalayan ranges and silver valleys, Ladakh in India has a Magnetic hill where a vehicle moves up a steep hill even with their ignition off. The Magnetic hill or Gravity Hill is situated at a distance of 30 km from the capital city Leh and is located on the Leh-Kargil-Baltik national highway, at a height of 14,000 feet above sea level.
The magnetic power here can be experienced by switching off the vehicle at a certain spot here. You will notice the vehicle moving up the hill in no time at a speed of about 20 km/hr. The experience is also termed as Himalayan wonder and is a must if you happen to venture into the Himalayan territory of this part of the world.
Even while flying around this region, one can feel the pull of magnetic field. As reported by the local people and Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), when the helicopters and aircrafts come with in the radius of this hill, they start to jerk. To avoid accidents, the fliers are advised to fly at specific speed and height.
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 Gurus 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.
People come to this Himalayan terrain for the sheer adventure and rush of adrenalin for this mountain beauty is more rugged than you would have thought.
