    Since you’ll be traveling with kids, it might help to stay at Vishnu Lok near Dehradun Railway Station. That way the train drop off is right next to your hotel and you can hop straight onto a local bus or a short taxi ride to Simtola without juggling luggage. The bus from Simtola Bus Stop runs every 15 20 minutes, so you’ll rarely have to wait long for the next one. If you prefer a more direct route, a cab from the station costs about ₹4,400 ₹5,000 one way, which keeps the kids together and saves a few minutes of travel time.
