    If you’re staying at Vishnu Lok near the railway station, the train drop off is just a short walk from the hotel, so you can grab a quick 10 minute taxi or the local bus straight to Simtola. The taxi fare from the station is about ₹4,400 5,000, which is cheaper than a full cab from the city centre and keeps the kids together. This setup saves you a few minutes of travel time and avoids juggling luggage at the main bus stop. Does anyone have a tip on the best time of day to catch the local bus from Simtola to avoid crowds?
