Moola (Brahui: مولا; Balochi: مولا, pronounced [moːlaː]) is an administrative subdivision (tehsil) of Khuzdar District in Balochistan, Pakistan. It is one of ten administrative units in the district, comprising tehsils and sub-tehsils, alongside Aranji, Gresha, Karakh, Khuzdar, Nal, Ornach, Saroona, Wadh, and Zehri. Covering an area of 3,283 square kilometres, Moola is predominantly defined by mountainous and arid terrain. Geographically, it is situated 90 kilometres to the northeast of Khuzdar and stretches on north of the M-8 Motorway between Khuzdar town and the neighbouring Qambar Shahdadkot District, Sindh. Among its notable natural features is Moola Chotok, a remote gorge increasingly recognised as a destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure tourists.
