Trail context
A certificate grounded in the journey.
The modern Annapurna Circuit has no single universal line: start and finish points, road walking, transport sections, side trips, and seasonal diversions vary between hikers. A useful completion record therefore begins with an honest account of the route actually taken. Multi-day GPS files can establish the walking sequence, while dated photographs, permits, lodge records, and a short explanation can resolve gaps or changes around the circuit. Include rest and acclimatisation days in the date range when they formed part of the journey, but do not force the evidence to match a historic marketing distance. The certificate's Himalayan valley and pass character is designed to evoke the route without claiming official status. Original tracks, permit numbers, photographs, and itinerary documents remain within the private review boundary.
Completed Annapurna Circuit? Submit route-appropriate GPS tracks, activity links, dated photos, stamps, permits, guide confirmation, club confirmation, or a clear completion narrative. Route variants are assessed from the evidence provided.

Private review layer
Your proof is not your public profile.
Reviewers may see
GPS and activity files, uploaded photos, permits, stamps, guide confirmations, completion narrative, and clarification replies.
The public may see
Certificate status, trail, privacy-controlled display name, dates, verification level, issue date, fingerprint, and registry signature state.
Supported route variants
Accepted itineraries range from approximately 160 km to 230 km. The certificate must identify the completed variant or section and any transport links.
Name the actual start, finish, pass itinerary, side trips, and road or vehicle sections. Distance varies by route option, and a narrower section record may be more accurate than a full-circuit claim.
