Studenta la Bournemouth University, Vedangi a devenit a 4-a cea mai rapida femeie care a facut inconjurul lumii, dar cea mai tanara dintre toate, chiar cel mai tanar ciclist asiatic (barbat dau femeie) care realizeaza turul lumii.
The Guinness World Record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe by a female cyclist stands at 124 days, set by Scotland’s Jenny Graham earlier this year.
During her ride, Kulkarni, who celebrated her 20th birthday along the way, was chased by a grizzly bear in Canada, being robbed at knifepoint when cycling in Spain, and camping out in sub-zero temperatures in Russia.
Her journey took her through 14 countries including New Zealand, Portugal, France, Germany, and Finland with an average daily distance of more than 180 kilometres.
She lost time along the way due to visa difficulties, which also hampered her progress through Europe and Russia as winter set in.
