Best Time to Visit Kozhikode
Popularly known as the City of Spices, Kozhikode is an off-beat destination to visit in Kerala that can only
be described best when seen. The place has rich British-era history and houses several historical landmarks
and attractions from the past. Once the Capital of Malabar during the ruling period of Zamorin around 500
years back and Vasco de Gama landed here in 1498, the place is famous for being centuries-old cotton and spice
trading point with many foreign countries including Arabia, China, and Africa. Now known as Calicut, the city
is situated on the banks of the Arabian Sea and offers a stunning view of the Wayanad Hills in the east.
During the harvesting season, the place blooms with varieties of spices, flowers, and beverages like coffee,
lemongrass, rubber plants, cotton, pepper, coconut, and more. Besides being the Spice City, Kozhikode is home
to many beaches, temples, and historic monuments snuggled in the vast expanse of the sea and offers the
perfect holiday destination in India with serenity and adventure.
