Kham (Wyl. khams), often translated as Eastern Tibet, is one of the three main provinces of Tibet (the others being Ü-Tsang and Amdo). Traditionally, it is said to cover the area known as the 'four rivers and six ranges' (Tib. chushi gang druk).
The 'four rivers' are the
- Manchu,
- Dzachu,
- Drichu, and
- Ngulchu.
The 'six ranges' are the
- Zalmo Range (Wyl. zal mo sgang),
- Tsawa Range (Wyl. tsha ba sgang),
- Markham Range (Wyl. smar khams sgang),
- Minyak-rab Range (Wyl. mi nyag rab sgang),
- Pobor Range (Wyl. spo 'bor sgang), and
- Mardza Range (Wyl. dmar rdza sgang).
