He never got there due to the fact that he landed in the Americas thinking it was Asia.

He wanted to go there because he was going to get silk and spices.

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand told Columbus that he could go.

My opinion is that Christopher Columbus really didn't go to Asia. Amerigo Vespucci found out. (Also John Cabot lied)
