The Mountain People Podcast

What does it take to become the youngest woman to cycle around the world?

Setting out at just 19 years old, Rab athlete Vedangi Kulkarni became the youngest woman to cycle the 29,000km across 15 countries around the globe.

Vedangi discovered her passion for bikes on a Brighton to London cycle during her university studies. In fact, she loved the experience so much that she carried on to northern Scotland.

On route, she read a book about cycling solo around the world, that sparked her next adventure.

Host Andy Cave caught up with Vedangi part way through her recent mission in Ladakh.
