 "Calicut
is a port for the whole Indian sea, which God forbid any craft
to cross…" these
words of Athanaseus Nikiten, the Russian traveler way back in
the 13th century echo even today the glory of the historical town
that is 'Koyil' (palace)'Kodu' (fortified).
In May 1498, Vasco Da Gama landed at Kappad, 16km north of Kozhikode
as the leader of a trade mission from Portugal & was received
by the Zamorin himself. Kozhikode attained a position of pre-eminence
in the trade of pepper & other spices which made it India's
emporium of international trade. As Kozhikode offered full freedom
& security, the Arab & the Chinese merchants preferred
it to all other ports. The globe-trotter Ibn Batuta (A.D. 1342-47)
notes: "We came next to Kalikut, one of the great ports of
the district of Malabar, & in which merchants of all parts
are found." Associated with the Zamorins is Kottaparamba
where stood their ancient palace. Mananchira was the bathing tank
of the members of the Zamorin's household.

Kappad Beach Resort is
located right on the beautiful and serene Kappad Beach, Calicut,
Kerala, where Vasco Da Gama landed in 1498. The beach, locally
known as Kappakadavu, is studded with sprawling rocks that protrude
into the sea and caressed by friendly waves. The temple on the
rock is believed to be 800 years old. The sea here is placid and
seemingly untouched by history or time. It just takes about 50
minutes (42 km's) drive from Calicut airport and 25 minutes (16
km's) from Calicut Railway station or city center.
