Calicut is one among the most exquisitely sited district in the whole state. With the Arabian Sea on the west and Wayanad hills on to the east, this place offers great scenic views to the tourists. In the olden days, Calicut was the hub of trade and commerce and hence, was the most important region of Malabar. It was also the capital city in the time of the Zamorins due to its strategic location. While all of the above are extremely notable, the most important development in the history is that Vasco da Gama discovered India in 1498 when he landed at a port (Kapad) located in this area. Presently, this is the district full of idyllic beaches, serene countryside, royal and beautiful architecture and thus an ideal escape into a tourist’s dream world. In addition to being a famous tourist attraction, this district is the second largest producer of timber in the World. It also houses numerous fishing harbours of the state, beautiful museums and galleries that retain the tools and devices used by the ancient Kerala tribes along with their antiquated mural paintings, bronzes, old coins, souvenirs etc. While all of the above offer an insight into the ancient tribal Kerala, the present beauty of the State can be witnessed by paying a visit to the dams, bird sanctuaries, beautiful waterfalls etc.
