Karoh Peak is a 1,467-metre (4,813 ft) tall mountain peak in the Sivalik Hills range of greater Himalayas range located near Morni Hills area of Panchkula district, Haryana, India. It is the highest point in the state of Haryana.[3]

The British rulers had incorrectly recorded the height to be 1499 metres in The Imperial Gazetteer of India, but later measurements by the Survey of India found the actual height to be about 100 feet (30 metres) lower and the official height was revised down.[3]
