The Golis Mountains[2] (Golis range, Somali: Buuraleyda Golis) are a mountain range in Somaliland.[3] Also known as Qar Golis, they cut through the Togdheer region,[1] and end near the Gan Libah.[4]

The original meaning of Golis Mountains is a mountain range near Golis mountain, but since the Somali Civil War, the entire so-called Karkaar mountains are often referred to as the Golis Mountains.
