Vasco da Gama discovered the sea route to India by sailing around the southern tip of Africa, specifically the Cape of Good Hope. He navigated from Portugal to the Indian ocean, reaching the port of Calicut (Kozhikode) on the southwestern coast of India in 1498. This voyage established a direct maritime link between Europe and Asia, facilitating the spice trade and marking the beginning of a new era of global commerce.
