Gulmit (Wakhi/Urdu: گلمت), also known as Gul-e-Gulmit , in upper Hunza Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.
The people speak Wakhi language and belong to the Shia Imami Ismaili sect of Islam.
He was the first Wakhi ruler to establish rule in Gulmit, threatening the Mir of Hunza.
Once, returning from a visit to collect tax from Yishkook in Chipursan valley, the two stopped in Gulmit and liked it.
After the death of Hazur Jamshid, Su Malik, the elder son, rushed to Gilgit to sit on his father's throne.
According to Muhammad Zia, celebrated genealogy-keeper (zon) of Gulmit, Mir Malik also eventually left for Hunza.
The territory of Qutlug Baig started from Khyber village and ended at Shishkat.
To rein in the advance of enemies from north and south, Quitlug Baig built Ondra fort.
To the north lay the State of Hunza, and to the South the power of Kirghiz invaders who used to attack Gulmit to control the pastures for their livestock.
The northern quarters were constructed for the army of Qutlug to keep an eye on the enemy advancing from the north, while the southern quarters were built to keep check on the enemy coming from the south, particularly the army of the Mir of Hunza.
To secure his territory from invaders, he built two gates which were closed at night and opened during the day The Ondra fort reflects the power of the Wakhi ruler Qutlug who was never defeated by the Mirs of Hunza.
After the death of Qutllug, Gulmit was recaptured and Ondra fell into hands of the Mir of Hunza.
The heroic stories of Qulug still dominate the daily discourse of the Wakhi people living in Gulmit, Shimshal, Chipursan, the valleys of Gojal.
With virtually no rainfall during the year, Gulmit features a cool arid climate (Köppen BWk).
The old summer palace of the Mir of Hunza stands at the northern edge of Gulmit's historic polo ground.
Standing tall in the east is Mount Pulpul, and in the west is Gulmit Tower, right above the Shutubar Glacier.
These Ismaili organizations cater services to the entire Gojal Valley but Gulmit, being the headquarters, hosts their offices.
