Health Tourism in India

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:22:30 +0000

Health Tourism is a concept where a patient travels to another country for medical treatment in order to save costs, or get treatment faster or even to avail of better medical facilities. Most patients from countries like USA and UK travel to developing countries such as India for treatment because India offers some of te cheapest pricing options of treatment, offers a good holiday, there are no waiting lists or queues to stand in, the doctors are comparable to anyone in the world and finally, language does not pose a problem as most people speak English.

Why would someone travel to India and not to Thailand?

Although the cost difference between treatment in India and Thailand is not much, India offers what you call a language advantage – a patient would surely prefer a country where English is widely spoken. Also, it is believed that the facilities in India are more suited for International patients.

India is also working hard to increase it’s infrastructure to better suit the needs of patients coming to India for treatments such as heart surgey, knee replacement, other orthopaedic treatments, cosmetic surgery, eye care, dental treatment or any other treatment for that matter. This is one of the primary fields which India intends to explore during the coming years.

How can you trust Indian Doctors?

Well, many highly qualified doctors have had some form of training from abroad , specially USA and UK. Indian surgeons and doctors are known for their skill and research throughout the world.

India has over 150000 medical tourists each year and this figure is rising at a high pace. Some recent programs recently on BBC and CNBC have reinstated the fact that medical tourism is a good idea if – you want to save costs, you need the treatment to be done at your time and convenience, you need a high quality budget incorporated.

Monsoons and Tourism in India

The two monsoons in India, Southwest Monsoon from July to September and Northeast Monsoon from December to early March bring in droves of domestic tourists to scores of tourist destinations. Indians, as a rule, enjoy monsoons after being scorched by the hot sun for months on end unlike the residents of Northern Hemisphere who suffer invariably from rainy day blues. They go out into the rain drenched streets, beaches and forests and let themselves go.

Goa

The Western tourists too have learned to enjoy monsoons in India. Among the prime locations for tourism is Goa, a sleepy town on the West coast. This former Portuguese colony has an old world European feel to it. The rain-drenched Gothic and Greco-Roman structures, washed by the rain, glisten dazzlingly and tourists stand and gape at them.

The beaches

Goa possesses a number of good and functional beaches. The monsoon rains falling on the raising waves hold the tourists in trance and they just refuse to go away, digging their feet literally in. Hotels fill the landscape near the beaches and the prices range from exorbitant to shoestring.

Nightlife

Sporadic monsoon singing parties known as trance parties and dancing in the rains are to be enjoyed. Hotels hold jam sessions with local groups and you can watch the rain sitting in the comfort of shelters with songs wafting through the air. Live groups touch your nostalgic nerves with Rock and Roll numbers.

Kerala

Kerala is a geological extension of Goa and has same different terrain. The people however, are quite distinct and the culture is different. Monsoon rains are not incessant. Now it rains, now it shines. Thiruvanandapuram, the capital of Kerala is home to the very popular Kovalam beach. During monsoons, foreign tourists some times outnumber the domestic travelers, so famous is it abroad! Alappuzha has a unique tradition of houseboats. They line the backwaters and venture out in monsoon rains till the mouth of the backwaters and the ride along the scenic banks. Coconut tree fronds almost brushing against you is an exhilarating experience.

Valley of Flowers National Park

This park ls situated in the Northern state of Uttarkhand, near Chamoli Garhwal, some 400 miles away from Delhi. While the mountainous terrain is a challenge to the adventure-minded during the monsoon and trekking is the activity they can indulge themselves in, there are safe passages for the less intrepid. The name tells it all. This park, in the Himalayan hill ranges burst into at least 300 varieties of flowers in monsoon and look like a carpet of myriad colors and shades through the valley. As the flowers bloom only in monsoon, It is advisable to visit it July to September.

There are hotels and camping is an option too. The government-run GMVN guest houses are your best bet.

New Delhi, the capital of India is located in northern part of India. It is home of the democratic people and offers a wide variety of political works and city life. But between the cities are the beautiful historic monuments built by the Mughal emperors in eighteenth and nineteenth century. The north India tourism will provide you offer to see every thing from desserts to hills, from villages to cities at single location. The golden triangle tour to India is best thing to see while traveling in north India. It is always the site that all tourist wishes to see.

Otherwise, the weather is hotter and you can not enjoy your trip at best while doing travel to India.
