Gumal Pass or Gomal Pass (Urdu: گومل) is a mountain pass on the border of Afghanistan and the southeastern portion of South Waziristan in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It takes its name from the Gomal River. It is midway between Khyber Pass and Bolan Pass. For a long time, has been a trading route for nomadic Powindahs (nomads).
