About About the place

Kappad Beach, situated approximately 16-20 kilometers from Kozhikode (Calicut), holds a prominent place in history as the location where Vasco da Gama first landed in India in 1498. The beach is generally well-maintained and features a mix of sandy stretches and rocky areas. While not considered among the most spectacular beaches in India, it provides a tranquil escape with clear waters and a relatively calm ambiance. A memorial commemorates da Gama’s arrival, though it is described as understated. The area offers a few resorts, and is appreciated for its seclusion. Visitors often enjoy the beach for relaxation, birdwatching, and witnessing the sunset.

This is one of the most iconic and important places in the city. The history and the beauty associated with it is incredible. We decided to take a guide in order to understand the facts better. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.. We decided to visit this place and I think that because it was the weekend, it was too crowded. We were not able to have a good tour since so many people were there and it was not a very nice experience. The place seemed good but I guess the crowd ruined it for us.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

It was my first visit to New York and to this place. The views were stunning from top of the rock and the staff was great. It was an unforgettable experience. We were able to take some incredible pictures and can see the entire beautiful city from here. Loved it.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.. This is a must visit place in the city and it is beautiful. The place is centrally located and you can easily reach it. The stories and the facts of this place are very interesting and make way for an entertaining tour.

This is a great [sight.name] to relax and rejuvenate and you can breathe fresh air and be close to nature. It is a beautiful place to sit and relax and is full of greenery. But the park really needs a little maintenance and cleanliness.

We went to this gorgeous place and it has the most mesmerizing views. The scenic view of this place was just stunning. The scenery, the greenery and the location seems to have come from a fairy tale book. It was always on my bucket list to visit this place and i am so glad to have done that. It is just beautiful here.
