Kham

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).
