Kozhikode (earlier known as Calicut) || Kozhikode (earlier known as Calicut)

Once the capital of the powerful Zamorin rulers of North Kerala and a prominent trade and commerce centre, Calicut was the most important region in Kerala in ancient times. The great voyager, Vasco Da Gama, landed here in 1498 putting it on the world map and paving the way for the west and for the many traders and invaders who followed suit. The lush green countryside, serene beaches, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, hills, a unique culture and a warm friendly ambience make Kozhikode a very popular destination. Its busy fishing ports and legendary boat-building yards are other great attractions.
