Kozhikode Tour Package

Kozhikode

Often known as Calicut, Kozhikode is a city on the Malabar coast in the state of Kerala in southern India. Kozhikode is the state's largest urban area and the world's 195th largest urban city. For its position as the key trade point of Eastern spices, Kozhikode was called the "Capital of Spices" during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages. It was the capital of an autonomous kingdom ruled in the Middle Ages by the Samoothiris (Zamorins) and later the capital under British control of the former Malabar region.

Kozhikode is a city with a long-standing past. The city has been enticing tourists with its riches from time immemorial. For more than 500 years, Jews, Arabs, Phoenicians, and Chinese have been dealing in spices such as black pepper and cardamom. The Arab and Chinese merchants preferred it to all other ports, because Kozhikode offered complete freedom and protection. During the time of the Sri Samoothiri Maharajas, who ruled the area until the British took control, Kozhikode was the capital of Malabar.
