Brief Regarading Kashmir to Kanyakumari Journey

The journey was started from Lal Chowk in Srinagar on October 9 , 2022 by soldiers and officers with the green flag and the slogan of Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Vande Mataram, Jai Maharashtra and completed the 3626 km distance through 13 states and completed in Kanyakumari on October 21 , 2022 . He faced more than 100 difficulties during the said journey, but he resolved all those difficulties without hesitation and completed the said journey.

During the journey, his mantra was 'PUSH THE HUMAN LIMITS' as he traveled approximately 300kms daily and in that sometimes had to face bicycle punctures, wind, rain, storms/extremism in South India. He completed this journey soaking in rain for approximately 10/11 hours throughout the journey. Due to continuous cycling, their hands/feet/ were on the way to go on strike, but the brain was not ready for these things, it kept ordering, come on and just come on, rest at Kanyakumari only.

World Record By Cycling from Kashmir to Kanyakumari

The total calories burned during the entire journey were 48,837, and he was on cycle for 172.42 hours. He achieved a total elevation of 50,793 feet during the journey. But while doing all this, his heart rate averaged 99.16 BEATS per MINUTE, which according to experts is considered good.

The said journey was started from Srinagar, Anantnag, Banihal. But after Banihal about 60 km road is very narrow, and new road work is going on for new tunnel in it, there is traffic jam due to big trucks, dumpers and passenger vehicles, so about 7/8 km he has to be walked on foot. And the feet were literally blistered and even burned to some extent, but there was no time to look into this. It was necessary to forget all this and move on. And proud that the two tunnels Banihal and Chenani Nashari are approximately 9 km each and are the best examples of our Indian engineering. But the entire road after Ramban till Udhampur was like velvet. And from Srinagar to Udhampur our country's paramilitary i.e. CRPF jawans were guarding along with their team and eagerly interrogating the rider. After that the road to Samba was very narrow and rugged hilly. Next was the journey to Kathua, Pathankot. After that via Hoshiarpur to Kurukshetra , Jhansi , Katanji , Nagpur , Jam, Hinganghat, Adilabad, Hyderabad, Armur, Jadcherla , Mehbub Nagar , Hasur , Vedasandur , Kanyakumari.

The total journey was 3626 km and completed in 11 days , 12 hours and 10 minutes to cover the distance from Kashmir to Kanyakumari . He became the first person between the age GROUP of 50 - 60 to complete the journey.

All this was possible due to the cooperation of the family , the inspiration of Warud Cycle Group , the blessings of the parents and the people of the taluka , all the officials of the revenue department , colleagues and friends are always supporting him.

The crew members worked very hard and cooperated. The crew members included Dheeraj Mahadik , Rajesh Londhe , Akash Mallik , Dinesh Dhurve , Dnyaneshwar Raut , Vishal Wankhade and Sarang Waghmare.
