Gyanema[1] or Gya'nyima[2] (Tibetan: རྒྱ་ཉི་མ, Wylie: rgya nyi ma, THL: gya nyi ma)[2] is a large plain at the border between the Zanda County and Burang County in western Tibet, which was once used for an annual market of Indo-Tibetan trade.
[3] At the present time, there is only a small settlement at the western edge of the plain called Xilanta (Chinese: 西兰塔),[2] where China operates a military outpost.
The Gynema plain lies between two tributaries of Lamchang Chu (Tibetan: ལམ་འཕྲང་ཆུ, Wylie: lam 'phrang chu), one in the west that rises below the Darma Pass (and called Darma Yankti by the Indians) and another in the east that rises in the hills further east and forms a large lake called Gago Cuo (Chinese: 嘎果错; pinyin: Gā guǒ cuò) or Gyanema Lake.
Immediately to the south of the Gyanema plain is the basin of the Karnali River, which flows east.
They exchanged them for silver, wheat, rice, satoo, ghur, candied sugar, pepper, beads, and other Indian manufactures.
