About Kappad Beach in Kozhikode

History of Kappad Beach

Playing a pivotal role in the history of southern state of Kerala, Kappad Beach, Kozhikode was first discovered by the popular Potugese explorer Vasco Da Gama in the 15th century, when he first stepped on the shores of Kerala in order to find a sea route to enter the nation. And, his group of about 170 sailors was well-received by the then local ruler- the Zamorin of Calicut. The landing of Vasco Da Gama later encouraged some more visits, and India became a British Colony till the time of freedom in the year 1947. The single act of Vasco Da Gama was quite forceful to change the history of Indian subcontinent and affect the same of Europe significantly as well. There is also a monument erected on the beach that commemorates this historic moment with the inscriptions reading the landing of Vasco Da Gama in Kappad Beach.

Attractions of Kappad Beach

Fringed with lush palm trees, beach side fishing villages, white sands, and dotted with plenty of fishing boats, the coastal strip of Kappad Beach, Calicut offers a typical view like other beaches in Kerala. While, the formation of rocks on its shoreline makes it distinguished from other beaches in the southern state. Besides that, the beach also has a temple nearby, which houses an 800 year old statue of a female deity. The temple also plays a huge part in drawing a great number of visitors to the beach.

Offering scenic beauty and utmost tranquility, taking a stroll along this enticing beach in Kozhikode lets you delve deeper into the history and culture of the state. While, its unspoilt backwaters add a thrilling vibe to the whole experience. If you are lucky, you may grab a chance to spot some migratory birds on the beach. Besides that, you may also enjoy swimming, sunbathing, boat riding, and even shopping on a visit to Kappad Beach, Kerala, making the sightseeing of this attraction even more wonderful experience.

Hardik's 7 days trip to Kozhikode

Dear Trip Triangle, Greetings for the day! I have planned all my past trips on my own. This time due to other priorities I chose Trip triangle based on a friend's reference to get a proper and hustle free itinerary, best negotiated hotel prices, language friendly driver and a lot of memories throughout the trip. I would like to give my experience and feedback: Hotels were suggested by us, there was no price negotiation done from 7C's Destination. I was getting the same hotel tariff as the agents. The agent does not suggest the hotels as per our suggestion and our needs, they lack a list of hotels. The itinerary is so vaguely mentioned and the driver is unaware about all the sightseeing places we want to visit daily. Driver appointed to us acted sweet , humble but was cunning , always confused and always trying to fool us. Day 1: He did not take us to sight seeing as we reached late. 2 waterfalls mentioned on the itenary were not visited, the reason being no water, dark etc. Accepted all the reasons given by him. Day 2: He would not take us for sightseeing, instead take us to spice garden Ayur valley and force us to buy from there as we will not get good quality spices anywhere else. He dropped us at the hotel and when we asked about the sightseeing, he couldn't take us as the itinerary was not shared with him.I had to call the 7C's Destination agent Mr. Renjit to talk to him. Eravikulam National park was closed he should have mentioned earlier after reaching Munnar Mr. Renjit is saying you cannot visit due to breeding time. Day 3: We could not visit Periyar national park as it was fully booked 1 day prior. We spoke with other guests who had done online booking. On top of that Mr. Renjit is blaming us for not reaching prior 1 pm. To summarise the trip: Delhi Trip agent was not ethical, suggested we cancel the trip request at the trip triangle and they would give additional Rs 10,000 discount. 7 C's Destination were talking about ethics but lack to fulfill comments mentioned in the itinerary. Driver was taking commission at every place we visited Spicy shopping, Ayurvedic centers, Kerala chips and even for bookings which we did by ourselves. We received constant complaint calls from the surfing and kayaking schools stating the driver asked for commission. On declining the commission the driver posted negative feedback on the internet. Driver would not stay in our hotel or nearby hotels. He would be late by 20mins to 30 mins in the morning to pick us from the hotel due to which we missed all the major sightseeings in Munnar and Varkala. Other tour guests were getting the discount at Jatayu Earth center while we did not get any discount. We have spent Rs 1,06,340 but it was not worth it. It could have been much better. Thanks and regards, Hardik Panchal.

Pravakar's 7 days trip to Kozhikode

It was a great Experience to explore Kerala.Our tour was most enjoyable.All hotels were very good beyond our imagination.Cab driver was well behaved and very punctual.He was our tour guide also.We enjoyed a lot in all sightseeing places. But our tour could be customised upto Kanyakumari within this period of program.During journey from Alleppey to Kovalam both jatayu earth centre and Padmanav Swami temple could be covered.We could not customise it.The last date we felt bored in Trivandrum after darshan of Padmanav Swami temple. Anyhow the journey was memorable and we are very grateful to the travel unbounded for a good tour program .

Chanakya's 4 days trip to Kozhikode

I opted for 5 star rated stay. While the hotel stay was great, the boat house was pathetic. It does not even qualify for 3 star rating. Food served was below average.

Chiragjain's 5 days trip to Kozhikode

We had our first trip planned with Aapka Tripwala. The trip was meticulously planned by Prachita from their team and taken care by Chirag for the ground support. The cab and booked hotel were all in place as promised. They also helped with early check-in at our Udaipur hotel. It was a great experience booking with them. Looking forward to book another trip with them again in future.
