• nandaprayag se ghat, sutol, van, vedini bugyal, roopakuand.
• gvaladam se deval, van, vedini bugyal, roopakuand.

haridvar se lagabhag 350 kimi ki doori par sthit roopakuand tak pahuanchane ke lie karnaprayag hote hue bagadagad tak (kul 222 kimi) bas athava kar dvara saphar kiya ja sakata hai. karn prayag se pindari nadi ke kinare-kinare tharali hote hue deval vahaan se 13 ki.mi. bakarigadh tak kachcha marg hai. roopakuand pahuanchane ke lie aantim bas steshan bakarigadh (bagariga d) hai. yahaan se roopakuand tak 41 kimi ki paidal yatra karani p dati hai. bagariga d mean portar gaid mil jate haian, yahian se inhean sath le chalana behatar rahata hai. khane-pine, pahanane ka paryapt saman lekar hi traikiang shuroo karani chahie. bagadagad se prarambh hoti hai sidhi khadi ch़dhaee aur phir duruh pagadandiyaan. bakarigadh se 3 ki.mi. mundauli gaanv hote hue va 7 kimi ka phasala tay karane ke bad ati hai, lauhajang suramy evan pauranik sthali, jahaan pahuanchate-pahuanchate vaisakh v jeth ke garm thap़edoan se trast yatri ko shital hava ke sparsh se athah anand ki anubhooti hone lagati hai. lauhajang se roopakuand ke lie do raste jate haian. ek van se hokar, doosara baank se gujarate hue. ek tisara rasta aur bhi hai, jo ghane jangal ki or phatata hai, jis par ch़dhate utarate nau kimi ka rasta tay karate hue 'bhaiankal tal v brahmatal' namak paryatan sthal p़date haian. phir, guanjan jangaloan se bahar nikalate hi rangabirange chittakarshak phooloan v makhamali ghas se ladephanse titali, bugyal, charagah (ooanchaee 10000 phut) ki manoram chhata barabas hi paryatakoan ka man mohane lagati hai. lekin, roopakuand yatra ki drishti se yah rasta n keval visham hai, varanh‌ th़oda lamba bhi p़data hai.
