This is the first of three films from SCTV Khampa that looks at the history, geography, wildlife and cultures of the Kham region, lying in the southern and eastern part of Tibet. The films are very informative, giving a good insight into all aspects of this region of Tibet.
In this week’s episode we learn about the origin of the Tibetan plateau, and how it has given rise to a wonderful variety of wildlife, who managed to adapt to life here as the plateau rose over the millennia.
We also see some of the peoples who live here, and their local culture and faith, and here something about their traditions and legends, as they made their living off their animals and fields. It is a very informative first episode in this series.
