An athlete and professional cyclist, Adil Teli from Baramulla, Kashmir, has been eyeing to break the record of cycling 3600 km from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in record time.

Adil, who embarked on this difficult journey on March 22, 2021, from the Clock Tower at Lal Chowk, Srinagar, cycled the same distance in 8 days, 1 hr, and 30 minutes and reached Kanyakumari this morning at 8:30 am.
As per him, he has reportedly broken the Guinness record and can be seen celebrating his feat with his crew and well-wishers. However, the international association is yet to officially declare him the winner.
