A DOSE OF HISTORY AT KAPPAD BEACH

Patrons of history must not miss a trip to the Kappad Beach, where over 500 years ago, Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama arrived with his fleet of 170 men, in search of a sea route from Europe to Asia. Located around 45 kilometres from Kozhikode Internatio­nal Airport, the beach is lined with swaying coconut trees and unique overhangin­g rock formations. Walk around, imagining what it all looked like in 1498, take a boat ride, or visit the nearby fishing hamlets.
