A Journey to Lhasa and Central Tibet is a nonfiction book written by Sarat Chandra Das, published in 1902. It is a travelogue of Das' second visit to Tibet in 1881 under the orders of the British Raj.^[1]

The British magazine The Athenaeum liked the book's inclusion of illustrations of buildings and a photograph of Lhasa, but viewed the images of mountains towards the book's end as being irrelevant to its content.^[2]

The Academy and Literature called the book "the most authentic account of Tibet now extant" and said that Das positions himself as a "shrewd observer, remarkably well-informed, a man of courage and resource."^[3]
