Overview
Kozhikode (formerly Calicut) is a historic port city on the Malabar Coast of Kerala, located approximately 900 km south of Mumbai. This is the city where Vasco da Gama landed in 1498, establishing the first European sea route to India and forever changing world trade. The drive from Mumbai takes about 14 to 16 hours via NH 66 (the coastal highway) through Goa and Karnataka, or alternatively via NH 48 through Belgaum and Mangaluru and then south along the coast. The NH 66 coastal route is one of India's most scenic drives, passing through Goa's palm-fringed coastline, the temple towns of Gokarna and Udupi in Karnataka, and the lush backwaters of northern Kerala. The route via Bengaluru (NH 48 then NH 275) is longer but has better road surfaces. Highway food is outstanding — Goan fish curry rice, Udupi vegetarian meals, and Kerala's legendary Malabar biryani and banana chips near Kozhikode. Kozhikode was historically ruled by the Zamorins, powerful Hindu kings who controlled the spice trade of the Malabar Coast. The city remains a major centre for the spice trade and is famous for its Malabar biryani, halwa (especially the banana halwa from SM Street), and the freshest seafood in Kerala. Kappad Beach, where Vasco da Gama landed, is just 16 km from the city. The Kozhikode Beach (Calicut Beach) features the iconic Kuttichira mosque quarter and two piers extending into the Arabian Sea. For travellers from Mumbai, a cab journey along NH 66 offers one of India's finest coastal road trips with possible stopovers in Goa and Mangaluru.
NH 48 / National Highway KeralaHistory & Significance
