Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are available outside the terminal. The airport is located about 45 km (28 miles) from Shigatse city center, and the ride takes approximately one hour. It is advisable to negotiate the fare with the driver before beginning the journey, as meters may not always be used. Pre-arranging a pickup through your hotel or tour agency is also a reliable option.

Rental Cars

Self-drive car rentals are generally not an option for foreign tourists in the Tibet Autonomous Region due to strict travel regulations. Travel for non-Chinese passport holders must be pre-arranged through a licensed travel agency, which includes a private vehicle with a dedicated driver and a tour guide.

Public Transportation

An official airport shuttle bus service connects the airport to Shigatse city. The bus schedule is timed to coincide with flight arrivals and departures, making it a convenient and the most economical option. The bus journey takes about 60-70 minutes and typically drops passengers off at the CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) ticket office in the city.
