The Koli tribes are located in southeastern Pakistan. They are primarily concentrated in the lower Thar Desert, just east of the Indus River. There are several major subdivisions of Koli in that area, including the Wadiyara Koli, the Kutchi Koli (or Lohar), and the Tharadari Koli. The Koli tribes all speak their own Indo-Aryan languages.
Here are some pictures of the people from the various Koli tribes.

Dear Emmanuel, The caste you have mentioned is Kolhi and not Koli; it will be good to mention it as it is. We write our case as Kohli which is read in Urdu as Kolhi as there are few words which we read different and read different like Wagha read as Wahga and Delhi as Dehli. I am a Kolhi (Kolhi) of Tharparkar.
