Neutrino oscillations in the presence of strong gravitational fields are studied. We look at very high energy neutrinos ($\sim $1 TeV) emanating from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). It is observed that spin flavor resonant transitions of such neutrinos may occur in the vicinity of AGN due to {\it gravitational} effects and due to the presence of a large magnetic field ($\sim $1 Tesla). A point to note is that matter effects (normal MSW transitions) become negligible in comparison o gravitational effects in our scenario.
