Lhasa and Central Tibet

Sarat Chandra Das is known and acclaimed as the leading authority on Tibet. His books have been acknowledged as pioneering works and definitive contributions to the field of Tibetan Studies.

This book embodies the journey to LHASA and Central TIBET undertaken by S.C. Das. The author provides an accurate and descriptive account of this journey first to LHASA and then to Yalung, where Tibetan civilization is said to have made first appearance.

The amount of literary work accomplished by Sarat Chandra since his return from Tibet, is enormous. It is impossible not to admire the hard work and valuable service which Sarat Chandra rendered to Tibetan Studies. This book opens new door for understanding of this mysterious land and is of great use for any exploration in Tibet.

This is a fine and scholarly piece of work which sheds new light on a dark subject and is without doubt a major milestone in the subject.
