'''Phalut''' or '''Falut''' is a {{convert|3600|m|ft|adj=on}} mountain and the second highest peak of [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. Part of the [[Singalila Ridge]] in the [[Himalayas]], it is located at the border of the Indian states of [[West Bengal]] and [[Sikkim]] and of [[Nepal]]. It is located inside the [[Singalila National Park]]. A small bunkhouse is near the top of the peak and is administered by the Indian army. Singalila Pass is 17&nbsp;km away from Phalut.

The indigenous tribes surrounding the mountain peak are known as Falutians by outsiders. Falutians have a 300-year history of worshipping the mountain peak, and believe that Phalut is an omniscient god. They refer to the mountain peak as "Omna Re Ay".
