Vasco da Gama is credited with discovering the sea route to India by sailing around the southern tip of Africa, reaching the city of Calicut (present-day Kozhikode) on the southwestern coast of India in 1498. This landmark voyage opened up direct trade between Europe and India, significantly impacting global trade and establishing Portugal's maritime dominance in the Indian ocean.
