We know that the direct object of {ghoS} can be a destination or a
place. We don't know that it can be a distance. That's the problem.
The direct object of {ghoS} typically can have or omit {-Daq}.
Meanwhile, {cha'SaD qelI'qamDaq} is a curious phrase.
Likely, this does work, and we just don't have any examples to prove it.
