Hirvaan Kierros is a circular trail partly located in Salamajärvi National Park, traversing diverse landscapes including forests, bogs, lakes, streams, and meadows.

Along the route, hikers will find several wilderness huts, shelters, public wells, and outdoor toilets.

The trail primarily consists of single-track paths with rocky and root-filled sections, though it also features easier stretches with duckboards and gravel roads. The elevation gain is minimal, but some areas can become quite wet.

The route I want to submit for FKT is from the village of Chimti to Panch Pokhari in Nepal. It is a popular route to the 5 lakes that are holy in Buddhism and Hinduism. The traditional time to visit the 5 lakes for religious reasons is in July. It is often hiked in 4 to 5 days by locals, but it is rarely visited by Westerners. This is the ascent portion of this GPX file. My trip report of this effort is here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19gwOYhfL25ZGQxTL12c96IBZkIqsAIAxpQ3…
