Vasco da Gama's final destination on his first voyage (1497-1499) was Calicut (now Kozhikode) in India. He was the first European to reach India by sea, establishing a direct maritime route from Europe to Asia. This journey significantly impacted trade and European interests in the Indian ocean region. Da Gama's expeditions ultimately helped to establish Portuguese colonial influence in India.
