Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Taxis and private cars are the most common form of transportation available directly outside the airport terminal. Fares are typically not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before beginning your journey. The drive to Skardu town usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

Rental Cars

Traditional self-drive car rental agencies (like Hertz or Avis) are not available at Skardu Airport. However, you can easily hire a private vehicle with a driver, which is the standard practice in the region. Options range from cars to more rugged 4x4s and jeeps, which are necessary for mountain travel. It is highly recommended to arrange this service in advance through your hotel or a local tour operator, especially during peak season.

Public Transportation

There are no formal, scheduled public bus or train services that connect directly to Skardu Airport. The primary means of getting to and from the airport are taxis or pre-booked private vehicles. While shared jeeps operate on main routes in the region, there is no dedicated public transit line serving the airport.
