Kappad, or Kappakadavu locally, is a famous beach near Kozhikode (Calicut), India, where the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama landed on 20 May 1498. His voyage established the sea route from the Europe to India. This heralded the arrival and permanent route from Europe to India. This heralded the arrival and permanent presence of various European merchant companies, leading to eventual domination and rule by the East India Company and later the period of British colonial rule.
==History==
A small stone monument commemorates the landing by Vasco da Gama with the inscription, ''"Vasco da Gama landed here, Kappakadavu, in the year 1498."'' His expedition gave the Europeans a sea route to reach the wealth of the Malabar Coast, and resulted in European domination of India for about 450 years. At that time Malabar was ruled by the Zamorins (Samoothiris, spoken locally) who gave a warm welcome to Gama. Malabar was abundant in spices, and produced a calico textile. Currently it is one of the most important tourist places in Kerala, with a wide and beautiful beach. As per the historical notes obtained later from the diarist accompanied Gama in his voyage Gama landed at Panthalayani, the then famous port in kerala which is 5 km away from Kappad. William Logan in his "Malabar Manual" clearly stated why Gama Landed at Panthalayani as per the direction of Zamorins, the King.
