Local jeeps and private cars serve as taxis and are the main transportation option. They are usually available outside the terminal when flights arrive. These vehicles connect the airport to the main town, Taplejung Bazaar, and other nearby destinations. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate the price with the driver before starting your journey.
Formal car rental agencies do not operate at Taplejung Airport. The closest option is to hire a private vehicle with a driver, which is typically a 4x4 jeep. This can be arranged for local sightseeing or for transport to trekking points. It is best to organize this in advance through a local hotel or travel agent in Taplejung Bazaar.
There is no direct public bus or transit service at the airport itself. The main hub for public buses and shared jeeps is in Taplejung Bazaar, located a few kilometers from the airport. Travelers must first take a taxi or jeep from the airport to the town center to access these public transport services for onward travel.
