Pekoe Trail Completion Certificate
The Pekoe Trail crosses Sri Lanka's central highlands through tea estates, working villages, forest edges, ridgelines, and the cool air of hill country. A completion record should reflect that long, staged journey rather than reduce it to a single summit photograph. Daily GPS activities, photographs at recognisable estate and settlement landmarks, accommodation records, and a concise stage-by-stage narrative can establish progression while leaving room for weather, transport connections, and local route changes. The certificate artwork draws on the green tea landscape and layered highland horizon so the finished record feels connected to the place. Verified Hikes reviews the evidence independently and keeps original tracks, photographs, booking references, and private location detail outside the public QR record. The result records the walked stages without publishing them.
This is an independent evidence-reviewed Verified Hikes certificate. It is not an official trail authority certificate unless explicitly marked as partner-confirmed or authority-confirmed.
Currently invite-only
We open verification places gradually so every certificate receives careful evidence review.

Accepted evidence
Route-matched proof examples
- Daily GPX, FIT, or TCX activities covering the walked stages
- Dated photographs at recognisable tea-estate, village, or highland landmarks
- Accommodation or guide records that support the stage sequence
- A completion narrative explaining transfers, rest days, and route changes
Best evidence: GPX/FIT/TCX files, a trusted activity link, dated trail photos, stamps, permits, or guide/partner confirmation. Photos alone may need supporting context. Screenshots without route or date detail are usually not enough.
Expected review level: evidence_reviewed. Most beta reviews target 2-3 working days after payment and private proof upload.
Privacy promise: raw GPS, photos, permits, contact details, and reviewer notes stay private. Public verification shows only safe certificate metadata, a short evidence summary, QR link, signature status, and PDF fingerprint.
Refund/clarification summary: if proof is incomplete, reviewers may request clarification before approval. Refund eligibility follows the refund policy and depends on review state.
This is an evidence-reviewed Verified Hikes certificate. It is not an official trail authority certificate unless explicitly marked as partner or authority confirmed.
Trail proof checklist
- GPS track file or activity link where available
- Photos at recognisable route landmarks
- Date range and completion narrative
- Permit, stamp, guide, club, or organiser confirmation where relevant
Distance and route variants are reviewed conservatively. Public pages never publish raw GPS points or private proof files.
Your proof is not your public profile.
GPS and activity files, uploaded photos, permits, stamps, guide confirmations, completion narrative, and clarification replies.
Certificate status, trail, privacy-controlled display name, dates, verification level, issue date, fingerprint, and registry signature state.
Supported route variants
List the stages you walked and explain any estate diversions, access changes, transfers, or section boundaries. Route variants and section certificates are supported when the requested record matches the submitted stage evidence.
Distance is shown only when reviewed; otherwise the page uses safe variable-distance wording.
