Shuttle Service between hotels and Airport/Train Station:
As for Lhasa Gonggar airport is 70km from the downtown, it is hard for us to arrange free shuttle service at any given time.

All the shuttle service from/to the train station on the date of tourists’ arrival and departure would be free.

Exception
If tourists want shuttle service not included in the designated time frame or they prefer not to wait for the free shuttle service, they are required to pay extra 50US Dollar/airport for airport shuttle bus service, which needs a report to travel consultant when booking the tour. If any clients need private vehicle pick up or drop off. It is US$100 one way (no more than 4 people at a time)
