Every year tourists from all over the country and abroad come here to see this sight with their own eyes and to know its secret.
If seen in the true sense, then the car goes downhill, but due to optical vision, tourists going here feel that the car is going towards the climb.
That is why I have included this tourist place in the list of top 10, so that after visiting the Ladakh trip, you can visit this mysterious place yourself and realize for yourself whether it really happens here or not.

When it comes to visiting Leh-Ladakh and Kargil’s name is not there, then patriotism seems incomplete. Kargil is not only recorded in golden letters in the pages of history, but every Indian’s chest widens with pride on hearing its name, because Kargil located in Ladakh was the center of conflict between Indo-Pak war in 1999 AD.
It is a district in the Union Territory of Ladakh, India, situated in the middle of the river valley of the beginning of Ladakh. It is about 215 km from Leh. and 205 km from Srinagar. Is located at a distance.

War goods were also transported to China through this route during World War II. The vehicles of the Indian Army are still seen passing on this road.
To go here, you need an inner line permit, which you can get done from the DC office of Leh or any travel agent’s shop present there.
Due to Khardung La Pass being included in the list of highest places in Ladakh, the amount of oxygen is very less there, due to which the possibility of altitude sickness increases when visiting there.
If you are going to Khardung La pass, then definitely take medicine etc. with you to avoid attitude sickness, else you may fall victim to attitude sickness.
