Gomal Pass (Pashto: ګومل) is a mountain pass on the Durand Line border between Afghanistan and South Waziristan in Pakistan's tribal areas. The name from it is from the Gomal River[2] and is in the middle between the legendary Khyber Pass and the Bolan Pass. It connects the areas of Ghazni in Afghanistan with Tank and Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan.[1] Gomal Pass, for a long time, has been a trading route for nomadic Powindahs (nomads).[3]
