The Kham Tibetans, better known as Khampa/Khamba ཁམས་པ་, number around 2 million. Khampa are traditionally known as the warriors of Tibet. Whether from Beijing or Lhasa, the Khampa have always been resistant to outsiders controlling their land. Throughout their long history, the Khampa have fought and killed anyone who tried to settle in their region. During the early 20th century, several European and American explorers were also killed by Khampa including Jules-Léon Dutreuil de Rhins, Louis Victor Liotard and Dr. Albert Shelton. Most Khampa’s are considerably taller than Tibetans from other regions of Tibet. It is not uncommon to come across Khampa men standing well over 6 feet tall. Kham men from Chamdo, Dege and Nangchen often wear their hair long with red or black tassels woven in. Mo
