Wheat and maize are principal crops cultivated by the Khamba. Their houses, which are made from stone and wood, are based on a structure that strongly resembles the [[Monpa people|Monpa]].

The Khamba are adherents of [[Tibetan Buddhism]] and use [[Hingna script|Hingna]], their own script,<ref>{{cite book|title=Atlas of the Languages and Ethnic Communities of South Asia|author=Roland J. L. Breton|publisher=[[Sage Publications]]|year=1997|pages=213|isbn=0-8039-9367-6}}</ref> which is based on the Tibetan script. However, due to relative isolation from [[Tibet]] and occasional contacts with the [[Adi people|Adi]] tribes, they are also somewhat influenced by the [[Donyi-Polo]] faith in their beliefs. In every village there will be a Buddhist [[Lama]]. Festivals that are celebrated are parallel with the [[Memba]], which includes [[Losar]], the [[Tibet]]an New Year.
