  Kamboja Location - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hiun Tsang (7th c AD) refers to one Kumito as an independently ruled provincial unit in Pamirs (east of Khotlan) stated to form one of the seventeen political provinces in former Tukharistan region.
That the Kumito (Kamboj) of Hiun Tsang existed as an independent political territory in/around Pamirs in 7/8th c is also confirmed from Kalhana's Rajatrangini.
Thus evidence from Hiun Tsang, Kalidasa, Kalhana, Idrisi and Parja Bhatta etc all seems to locate the ancient Kamboja in eastern parts of Oxus country, to the north/north-west of Kashmir i.e in Pamirs-Badakshan.

Gandhara is the name of a great civilization in the North West of sub-continent (Pakistan), it has been discussed by many scholars and writers in many ways some considers it only in the north west of the sub continent, and some take it beyond the borders of Afghanistan to Uzbekistan and other neighboring countries.
According to some writers, the first man who visited Gandhara was a famous Chinese pilgrim, Hsuan Tsang, in the seventh century of the Christian era, he writes, “the kingdom of Gandhara extends about 1,000li from east to west, and about 800li from north to south.
The Chinese pilgrims, Fahien, Sung-Yun, and Hiun Tsang have mentioned many of the Buddhist sanctuaries; they visited Gandhara for pilgrimage to collect the Buddhist scriptures.

Going out of the Iron Pass, seventh century AD Chinese pilgrim Hiun Tsang had entered Tu-huo-lo (Tushara) country which lied to the north of the great snow mountains (Hindukush), to the south of Iron Pass and to the east of Persia.
During Hiun Tsang’s times, country of Tushara was divided into 27 administrative units, each having its separate chieftain.
The Kumitos of Hiun Tsang's accounts (or the Kumijis of Al-Maqidisi) appear to be Kambojas who were living neigbors to the Tusharas across the Hindukush in the Oxus valley.

 History of Sri Lanka - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
There is an epic (Mahabharata 2/27/18-22) reference to one Simhapura in north-west Punjab which territory was contiguous to the land of ancient Kambojas.
Seventh century Chinese pilgrim Hiun Tsang also refers to one Simhapura (Sang-ho-pu-lo) localised in north-west Punjab.
Thus, it is argued by some scholars that name Simhapura, the predecessor of Sinhala, may have been carried into Sri Lanka by north-west Kambojas and that the Sinhalese, in fact, might have been the Kamboja colonists themselves (Dr J. Kamboj).

 History of All States of India
With the advent of the Iron Age in 500 BC, the gradual process towards urbanization started in this region and it was greatly helped by the many trade routes that connected it with north India.
The Chinese traveler Hiun Tsang visited this region in 640-641 BC and was very impressed with the prosperity of this region.
During third and fourth centuries BC, the region of Konkan remained under the control of the Mauryans, whose policies led to great advancements in the fields of trade and Buddhist learning in the region.

The Chinese pilgrim, Hiun Tsang, visited Maharashtra during AD 640-641 and was very impressed by the prosperity of the country, the efficiency of the administration and the character of the people.
He called the land Mo-ho-lo-cha (Moholesh), and was perhaps the first person to discuss the region and its people.

There is an epic reference to one Simhapura kingdom located on the upper Indus which shared borders with Ursa, Abhisara, Bahlika, Darada and Kamboja
Seventh century Chinese pilgrim Hiun Tsang also refers to this Simhapura (Sang-ho-pu-lo) and localises it on upper Indus, in Gandhara (north--west Punjab)
Yet another Sinhapura is referred to in Gujarat and has been attested in the Charter of Maitraka king Dhruvasena I (525 AD-545 AD).

Rajatrangini places Uttarkuru land in the neighborhood of Strirajya.
Based on Hiun Tsang 's evidence (I, p 330), Strirajya is identified as a country lying north of Kashmir, south of Khotan and west of Tibet.
Thus, the Uttarakuru which finds reference in the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Rajatrangini probably can not be identified with the Bahlika or Bactria as Dr M. Singh has concluded.

The earliest attractions of the far southern coasts were pearls and gems, which brought merchants, and ultimately the script, religions and the dynastic traditions.....Hiun Tsang refers to the international trading activities of the Simhalas and several early Brahmi inscriptions in Ceylon mention the Kamboja merchants in Sinhala'
Inscriptional, archaological and literary evidence exists which sufficientlt proves that the merchant class from Kambojas, Yonas and some other communities of northwest had reached Sri Lanka and settled there centuries prior to Christian era.
Seventh century Chinese pilgrim Hiun Tsang [玄奘] also attests one Simhapura (Sang-ho-pu-lo) on the east bank of river Indus about 115 miles east of Taxila [Urdu: ٹپکسلا ], thus localizing it in the upper doab of Jhelum [Punjabi: ਜੇਹਲਮ, Urdu: دریائے جہلم] /Chenab [(Punjabi: ਚਨਾਬ, Urdu: چناب ].

You may want to refer to our earlier postings on Kambojas in Sri Lanka.
This fact is beautifully verified from writings of Hiun Tsang as well as from the Rajatrangini of Kashmiri Poet Bhatta, as we have already demonstrated in our earlier posts.
Thus, the information we have provided above is more than enough to prove that the migrations of Kambojas with Sakas etc did occur from Central Asia to Gujarat/Malva towards in 2nd and 1ist c BC and from Gijarat/Kathiawad further down to Csouthern India/Sri Lanka as well as to Indo-china (Kambuja).
