Choosing the right airport for your trip to Lhatse involves balancing regional accessibility, as none of these airports are located within Lhatse itself. Shigatse Tingri Airport (DDR) and Shigatse Peace Airport (RKZ) serve as the primary gateways within the neighboring Shigatse region, while Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) and Taplejung Airport (TPJ) are situated in remote regions of Nepal. For travelers prioritizing domestic connectivity within China, Shigatse Peace Airport (RKZ) is the most practical entry point, offering more robust transit options to the wider region. Conversely, those heading toward the Everest region or deeper into Nepal may find Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) useful, though it requires significant mountain travel. Shigatse Tingri Airport (DDR) remains a niche option primarily for regional expeditions. Travelers should note that Lhatse is a mountainous county seat; therefore, ground transport typically involves long-distance coaches or private hires from these airports. Always check your visa requirements and regional travel permits before booking, as infrastructure in these high-altitude areas is rugged and weather-dependent.

On the way to Everest Base Camp, I didn't live in Shigatse. I chose this hotel closer to the Base Camp. It is newly renovated in Laju County. The Sichuan brother-in-law operates. The bedding is also new. There is floor heating, breakfast, and there are charging piles on the large parking lot. This is a photo taken from the room.FromUS$26

There is a parking lot, and there is a back door in the parking lot that leads to the front desk. Four people booked two rooms, which are very close to each other. The sanitation is good, the facilities are good, and there are restaurants and supermarkets next to it, which is very convenient. Breakfast was provided, but there were so many people that I couldn't find a seat, so I didn't eat it. Overall satisfied!FromUS$27

The chain store has a fixed style, so there are no major problems. It's just that the cleaning is a bit sloppy, and the vomit of the previous guest in the toilet was not flushed. The carpet in the room is a bit dirty, and it is not as good as the floor if it is cleaned like this.FromUS$45
