Mountain pass

Gomal Pass (Pashto: ګومل) is a mountain pass on the Durand Line border between Afghanistan and the southeastern portion of South Waziristan in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It takes its name from the Gomal River[2] and is midway between the legendary Khyber Pass and the Bolan Pass. It connects 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.[3]
