Falut

Located at an elevation of 3,595 meters, Falut forms part of the Singalila Ridge, offering views of several major Himalayan peaks along the Indo-Nepal border.

The mountain has long served as a traditional boundary marker between India and Nepal, with local communities establishing ancient trade routes through its passes.

Buddhist monasteries near Falut maintain regular prayer ceremonies, while indigenous populations consider the mountain a sacred site for meditation and spiritual practices.

Access to Falut requires a multi-day trek from Manebhanjan through the Singalila National Park, with basic accommodation available at designated trekking shelters.
