Gangtok food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Food is not an issue in Gangtok. In MG Marg there a lot of good eateries where one can have veg, non-veg, South and North Indian food. Don't expect an authentic dish like the ones you have back at home and you won't be disappointed.
Food while travelling to Nathu La Pass is a major issue. The place where most of the taxis stop (nearby Tchangu Lake) doesn't have good options for eating. The Chinese recipes dished out were pretty tasteless and we had to be satisfied with Maggi. If possible, carry some food along so that you don't end up complaining later.
In Gangtok, the major mode of commuting is city-taxis (there are no public transports like buses). They cover all the major places and are shared. Usually the fare is Rs 10 per person. You just have to stand on the road and wait for one. Or else for more convenience, book one through the hotel you are staying in. Usually it will cost you Rs 70 to 100 depending on the distance. All city-taxis go to MG Marg (this is where you will need to go often for planning your travel, eating or shopping). MG Marg is also a shopping destination where you can get all your necessary stuff.

Hotel Review of Chumbi Residency,The
Comments: Chumbi Residency is a pleasant surprise if you think of what sort of a hotel u will land up in Gangtok. The rooms are very cozy and well placed to have a good view of Kanchenchunga mountain range. if you are an early riser, you can enjoy the sunrise over the icy peaks of the himalayas.Its an awesome sight to watch. Dont miss the trip to Tsonmgo lake (a full day trip from Gangtok). This is possibly the closest to the chinese border !
Best Experience: Lets talk about the food. This hotel offered a variety of cuisine to choose from. as pure veggies, we were worried about the kind of food that we would get from a place so far off and remote. But Chumbi, made us feel @home and served food that was hot,well prepared and very well presented. I would strongly suggest my freinds in this forum to try chumbi residency for their stay @Gangtok...

Here we stayed for three days. Quality of room service is of poor standard. It is better to avoid food of this resort. Overall our experience was really bad....
