The major settlement in Gulina is Kelewina.

The highest peak in this woreda is the dormant volcano Mount Dalaffilla (613 meters).

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 21,259, of whom 9,577 were males and 11,682 were females; 784 or 3.69% of its population are urban dwellers, which is greater than the Zone average of 1.6%. Information is not available for the area of Gulina, so its density cannot be calculated.[1]
