    If you take the local bus from Simtola Bus Stop, the fare is about ₹30 per person, and the journey takes roughly 30 35 minutes. The bus runs every 15 20 minutes, so you can get on without long waits, but it can be crowded with kids. A cab from Dehradun will cost roughly ₹400 ₹500 one way, but you get door to door service and can keep the luggage and children together. The train option is cheaper, around ₹10 ₹15 per person for the short ride to Vishnu Lok, but you’ll need to transfer to a bus or taxi from the station to Simtola. If you’re flying in, Jolly Grant Airport is about 70 km away, so you’d still need a car or shared ride to reach the hill station, making the flight less convenient for a quick weekend trip.
