The most common and convenient option is the prepaid taxi service. A counter operated by the Ladakh Taxi Union is located inside the arrival terminal. Fares to various destinations, including Leh town, are fixed and displayed on a rate board. Passengers pay at the counter and are given a receipt to present to the driver, which prevents haggling and ensures a standard price.
Standard self-drive car rental companies (like Hertz or Avis) do not operate at Leh Airport. Car rentals in Ladakh typically mean hiring a car with a local driver. This can be arranged through the Taxi Union counter at the airport for point-to-point travel or through travel agencies in Leh for multi-day sightseeing tours. Motorcycle rentals are popular but must be arranged from shops within Leh town, not directly at the airport.
There is no dedicated public bus or shuttle service that directly connects the airport to Leh town. The most practical alternatives are prepaid taxis or pre-arranged hotel transfers. Many hotels and guesthouses in Leh offer airport pick-up services, which should be booked in advance of your arrival.
This is a high-security airport, with no carry-on baggage allowed.
