Calicut Tour Package from Chandigarh
Calicut, also known as Kozhikode, is Kerala's historic port city where Vasco da Gama first landed in 1498, blending rich maritime heritage with pristine beaches and lush backwaters. The city is famous for its Calicut Beach, the bustling Mittai Theruvu (Sweet Street) bazaar, and the iconic Mananchira Square where you can experience authentic Kerala culture. Indian travelers love Calicut for its affordable coastal getaway vibe, delicious Malabar cuisine, and proximity to stunning hill stations like Wayanad just 90 km away.
