If you’re looking at plastic surgery, correction of congenital malformation, breast reconstruction surgery and other beauty enhancing cosmetic surgeries, Kerala offers highly specialised departments and expert surgeons to take care of your needs. Dental treatments are also a priority of tourists to Kerala as even the most complex jaw replacement surgeries cost 50% lesser than international rates. Access to state-of-the-art technology and specialised orthodontic clinics are also easier in Kerala. Without leaving a dent in your budgets.
A definitive cost advantage
While a hip replacement surgery costs upto US $ 12,000 outside India, the procedure would be completed in less than one third of the cost here in Kerala. On a more common level, a regular dental filling which would cost around € 400 in Austria would cost a mere €10 in Kerala. Generally, estimates show that most surgeries in India cost just 1/ 10 of the costs in Western countries. And across different categories, tourists are discovering that there is an alluring cost difference of around 60-70% on medical treatments in most premium institutions here. With increasing queues at National Health Services and other Government Health Service departments and Insurance Services across Europe, it is no surprise that thousands are finding the perfect remedy in God ’ s Own Country.

God’s Own Country. Antidote for the weary traveller.

Backwaters of Kerala. Where peace flows like a river
An amazing network of canals, lagoons, rivers, estuaries and islands together form the world-renowned backwaters of Kerala. With nearly 900 kilometres of it being navigable, village life in rural Kerala revolves around these backwaters . A journey on a Kettuvallam, the traditional houseboat of Kerala complete with furnished bedrooms and a living room is an experience of a lifetime. Gently drifting by the backwaters tickled by palm fronds that fall lazily into the waters, travellers discover life in the slow lane. Where the darting kingfishers and gliding ducklings are a sight for sore eyes. And a cure for sore minds.
Hill Stations of Kerala. A refreshingly different experience
The hill stations - also known as health resorts - are situated thousands of metres above sea level. Mist-clad mountains and quaint colonial cottages with an old world charm, tea plantations and spice gardens - a veritable Shangri-La where the hectic present hasn ’ t caught up with the laidback past. Here you will find wild trails where you’ll discover poems in little wild flowers. Masterpieces in pastel sunsets. And a new vigour in yourself.
Beaches of Kerala. Get the sunshine back into your life
With a 600 kilometre long coastline, the state of Kerala is literally one long beach. For the hard-core beachcomber, Kerala’s world renowned beaches like Kovalam in the south and unexplored beaches like Bekal in the north offer an irresistible range of experiences.

Definitely some of the best beaches where you can discover your sunny side of life.
