The Kolahoi ( English Kolahoi Peak or Mount Kolahoi ) is a mountain in the western Himalayas in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir .
The Kolahoi is located north of the Kashmir Valley in the Anantnag district . The Kolahoi Glacier flows along its east and west flanks in a northerly direction and feeds the Lidder , which turns in a left curve to the south and flows into the Kashmir Valley. The small town of Pahalgam is located 15 km south of the Kolahoi in the Lidder river valley. With a height of 5425 m, the Kolahoi towers over the surrounding peaks. Because of its shape, the mountain is also known as the "Matterhorn of Kashmir".
The first ascent of the Kolahoi took place in 1912 by a British expedition led by Ernest Neve .
