When did vasco da gamma reach India?

Calicut, May, 20th, 1498


Who was the first explorer to reach India by water?

It was the Portuguese who made the first naval expedition to India, in 1498. They arrived in Calicut (not today's Calcutta, but a coastal town in India now called Kozhikode) only to find a small but thriving European business community already established there. At least a number of them would have reached India partly over sea. But we usually count Vasco da Gama's 1498 voyage as the first 'official' sea travel to India.
