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 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly FATA). 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]
Two Pakistani rivers – Shna Pasta and Shore Mānda – as well as the Mandz Rāghah Kowri stream in Afghanistan flow close to Gomal Pass.[4]
