    If you’re taking the train from Dehradun, the station is close to Vishnu Lok, so you can drop off the kids there and hop on a local bus or taxi to Simtola. The bus from Simtola Bus Stop usually takes about 30 minutes, but a cab can shave a few minutes off and keep luggage handling simple. Flying via Jolly Grant Airport is less practical the airport is about 70 km away and you’d still need a car or shuttle to reach the hill station.
