Kanti Patel, a resident of Vapi, District Valsad, Gujarat, is a rare embodiment of physical endurance, spiritual devotion, and unshakable discipline. Holding an M.Sc and LLB, he is widely respected as a Panch Kailashi, mountaineer, cyclist, athlete and now recognized as “Maximum Treks, Pilgrimages & Cycling Feats by a Senior Citizen” by Genius Book of Records.

What makes his journey truly exceptional is not just the scale of his achievements – but the age at which they were accomplished. All of Kanti Patel’s extraordinary feats were completed after the age of 60, within a span of just eight years, making him the first person from Gujarat, Diu, Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli to achieve this combination of spiritual and endurance milestones.

His most profound spiritual accomplishment is the Maa Narmada Parikrama by walk, covering 2,849 kilometers from 21st November 2024 to 14th February 2025. He has also completed the Narmada Parikrama by vehicle and performed Uttarvahini Narmada Parikrama twice.

Kanti Patel has undertaken the revered Panch Kailash Yatra, including:

• Kailash Mansarovar
• Adi Kailash
• Shrikhand Kailash
• Mani Mahesh Kailash

• Kinnaur Kailash

His devotion further extends to Panch Kedar, Panch Badri, Four Prayags, 12 Jyotirlingas, and repeated Girnar Parikrama and Guru Dattatray Darshan by trekking.

On the adventure front, he has completed 38 successful treks, including:

• Mount Kilimanjaro (19,741 feet) — summited on 15th August 2025
• Everest Base Camp Trek (18,500 feet)

• Chadar Trek, Ladakh at temperatures as low as -45°C

As a cyclist, Kanti Patel has ridden over 70,000 kilometers, covering entire Gujarat and nearly half of India, including extreme routes such as Manali to Leh, Srinagar to Pune, and Mount Abu to Guru Shikhar.

With 30+ half marathons, including eight hill marathons, his life stands as a living example that human limits are self-created.
