Vasco da Gama fulfilled Portugal's goal of establishing a sea route to Asia when he reached Calicut (Kozhikode) on the southwestern coast of India in May 1498. This landmark voyage marked the first direct maritime link between Europe and Asia, enabling the Portuguese to access lucrative trade in spices and other goods. Da Gama's journey significantly expanded Portugal's influence and initiated a new era of global trade and exploration.
