If you take the train from Dehradun, the Vishnu Lok stop is right next to the bus stand, so you can drop the kids there and catch the 07:30 or 10:15 local service to Simtola. The bus ride is only 30 minutes and the fare is about ₹30 each. A cab from the station costs roughly ₹4,500 one way but gives you door to door convenience for the luggage and children. If you want a place to stay near the station before heading up, Vishnu Lok near Dehradun Railway Station is a decent, budget friendly option.
