'''Kaplas Peak''' is a mountain with a peak elevation of {{convert|4335|m|ft|0}}, at the border of [[Kathua district]], [[Udhampur district]] and [[Doda district]] of the Indian [[union territory]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://peakvisor.com/peak/kaplas.html|title=Kaplas|work=PeakVisor|access-date=3 October 2025}}</ref> Kaplas Peak is part of [[Pir Panjal range]], which is itself a part of [[Himalayas|Himalayan mountain range]], and is located near [[Sarthal valley]] of [[Kathua district]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wikimapia.org/6124286/Kaplas-4341-m|title=Kaplas 4341 m India / Jammu and Kashmir / Bhaderwah /|work=wikimapia.org|access-date=3 October 2025}}</ref> It lies 36 km from [[Bhaderwah]] and 52 km north-northeast of [[Kathua]].<br />

The mountain forms part of the Kaplas Granite Massif, a prominent intrusive body in the northwestern Himalaya. Geological studies describe the granite as coarse-grained, porphyritic and highly jointed, extending across parts of Bhaderwah and Doda.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bhardwaj |first1=Ashish |title=Field and Petrographic characteristics of the Bhalla and Doda granitic bodies associated with Kaplas granite in Doda district of J&K, India |url=https://gdckathua.in/pdf/61836Label.pdf |website=gdckathua.in |publisher=Government Degree College Kathua |access-date=3 October 2025}}</ref> It is associated with the nearby Bhalla and Doda granitic bodies and has been examined for its petrographic and geochemical characteristics.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Singh |first1=R. |last2=Fotedar |first2=B.
