Brief Answer:
It is a neurological disorder

Detailed Answer:
There is no cure if you are suffering with essential tremor. Essential tremor is dominantly inherited familial disorder and can be controlled not cured. The drugs are the commonest modality to treat them but they can also be treated in refractory cases by deep brain stimulation, which is a type of surgery.

Brief Answer:
that depends on the center you go.

Detailed Answer:
The cost of the procedure depends on the package the institute you approach. It would be 3-6 lakhs. Also I m not aware of thalmatolgy term. May be you want to ask about thalmotomy which is lesioning in the thalamus to treat tremor. But it is irreversible process in contrast with dbs which is reversible.
