Relax and unwind, let us take you through the journey of a life time through breathtaking backwaters of Kerala. "Its culture and traditions, coupled with its varied
demographics, have made Kerala one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the world. National
Geographic's Traveller magazine names Kerala as one of
the "ten paradises of the world" and "50 must
see destinations of a lif
etime". In 2012, it overtook
Taj Mahal to be the number one travel destination in
Google's search trends for India. Kerala's
beaches, backwaters, mountain ranges and wildlife
sanctuaries are the major attractions for both domestic
and international tourists. The city of Kochi ranks
first in the total number of international and domestic
tourists in Kerala

states; 93.91%. Life expectancy of 74 years was
among the highest in India as of 2011

World Health Organisation designated Kerala the world's
first "baby-friendly state" because of its effective
promotion of breast-feeding over formulas. As of
2004, more than 95% of births were hospital-delivered. Ayurveda (both elite and popular forms),
siddha, and many endangered and endemic modes
of traditional medicine, including kalari,
marmachikitsa and vishavaidyam, are practised. Kerala has undergone the "demographic transition"
characteristic of such developed nations as Canada,
Japan, and Norway. as 11.2% of people are over
the age of 60, and due to the low birthrate of 18
per 1,000.Kerala's Gender Development Index was
reported to be 597; higher than any other state of
India. Many factors, such as high rates of female
literacy, education, work participation and life
expectancy, along with favourable female-to-male ratio,
had contributed to it. Kerala's female-to-male
ratio of 1.058 is higher than that of the rest of
India.. The state also is regarded as the "least
corrupt Indian state" according to the surveys
conducted by Transparency International (2005) and
India Today (1997)"
