Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the arrivals hall. The trip to downtown Lhasa takes about 60-90 minutes. Fares are typically fixed, costing around 200-300 CNY. It is highly recommended to confirm the price with the driver before beginning the journey. Shared taxis are also a common and more economical option.

Rental Cars

Self-drive car rentals are not an option for foreign tourists in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Foreign visitors are required to hire a vehicle with a licensed driver and a tour guide as part of a pre-arranged tour package. This must be organized in advance through a certified travel agency when obtaining your Tibet Travel Permit.

Public Transportation

The primary public transit option is the airport shuttle bus. It provides service between the airport and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) ticket office in downtown Lhasa. The journey takes approximately 1.5 hours and costs around 30-35 CNY per person. The bus schedule is coordinated with flight arrival and departure times.
