Abstract LetP k be a path onk vertices. In this paper we prove that (1) every polyhedral map on the torus and the Klein bottle contains a pathP k such that each of its vertices has degree ≤6k−2 ifk is odd,k≥3, (2) every large polyhedral map on any compact 2-manifoldM with Euler characteristic χ(M)〈0 contains a pathP k such that each of its vertices has degree ≤ 6k − 2 ifk is odd,k≥3, (3) moreover, these bounds are attained. Fork=1 ork even,k≥2, the bound is 6k which has been proved in our previous paper.
