Kerala has edged out the Taj Mahal to become the number one in Google's search trends for travel destinations in the country for 2012.

Munnar, a popular tourist destination in the state, is also on the list of Top 10 Indian destinations on Google's Zeitgeist site, showing search trends from around the world.

Kerala at number one and the Taj Mahal at number two were followed by the Wagah Border (Punjab), Vaishno Devi and Amarnath (both in Jammu and Kashmir).

Kerala Tourism Minister A.P. Anil Kumar described the two listings for Kerala, including the number one spot, as a great encouragement for the state.
