Roopkund Trek( Moderate to Hard trek) Tour

A train is the best mode of transport for this leg. There are mainly three trains (Shatabdi Express, Uttar Sampark Kranti Express and Ranikhet Express) available between Delhi and Haldwani. I always recommend Ranikhet Express as it starts from Delhi in the night at 10:30 PM and reaches Haldwani in the morning at 04:30 AM. Reaching Haldwani in the early morning is a good idea for onward journey. Kathgodam is the last rail-head on this section and 10 kms away from Haldwani. It is better to leave the train at Haldwani, rather than Kathgodam, because Haldwani is a bigger city and transports for onward journey can be arranged here in a better manner

Depart from Katgodam - road goes many interesting tourist places like Kousani ,Sameswar.Haldwani ,Gwaldam and many mountain interesting villages and rivers can seen during the traveling and arrives to Lohajund interesting place on the ridge beautiful view of Nanadaghunti peak from the hotel.

. Gentle 5 k downhill, then 3 k.uphill trek through forests of oak, rhododendrons (bloom end April - beginning May), pine, and stately deodar trees.
