To access Golaghmuli Valley, one would typically take the Gilgit-Chitral road west from Gilgit and continue in a northwesterly direction, passing through Gupis.

During the government of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a decision was made to establish Golaghmuli as a new Tehsil.

However, under the government of the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) or PML (N), Golaghmuli was granted the full administrative powers of a Tehsil.

Phander, which encompasses Golaghmuli Valley, was originally under the rule of the Governor of Gupis, Raja Hussain Ali Khan Maqpoon.

However, over time, this house lost its power and ownership of Koh-i-Ghizer during the era of the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR).

Golaghmuli Valley holds significant strategic importance due to its geographical location and the various mountain passes it offers.

It includes the villages of Rawat, Shamaran, Chashi, Phander, Golaghmuli, Golaghtori, Terich, Handarap, Handarap Nallah including Lake, Herkush, Teru, Karim Abad, Hilthi, Barset and a wide area of Khukush Nallah.

Another pass to Swat District is nearby Khukush Langar (Baha) Lake, which is called Naghlacho Dahar.
