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 Sidlon Residency, The
Comments: I usually dont write any reviews but this hotel was so bad , that i decided to let people know the truth and dont suffer as i did.
The only good thing about this hotel is the morning view of sun it provides, rest all is better unsaid.
I satyed in this hotel with my family in december 2006 through Indian Airlines Pacakage and belive me i have not seen any hotel with service worse than this one.

Gangtok is a great place , but i ll suggest to pl stay at some better hotel !!!

anybody is welcome to contact me if they want any other details regarding my ordeal at this place at eklavyam@yahoo.com
Worst Experience: 1)The room only had bulbs , no whiteligtht and out of 5 bulbs 3 were fused , which made the room look dark and gloomy , even after asking for changing the bulbs so many times , it was only the next day they were replaced.
2)We used an extra bed coz and the quilt provided with it stunk , and had to be replaced.
3)The restraunt staff is realy bad , they make u so uncomfortable as if u r having something for free( we had breakfast and dinner included in the package itself), , even their breakfast was limited to toast and cornflakes, no omlettes , no jucies, no parathas.
4) The beds are creaky , the make noise whenevr u move in them.
5)The rooms have so much of voice leakage, we had to hear all kinds of unpleasant sounds from the bathroom of the room adjacent to ours.

Hotel Review of Sidlon Residency, The
the place it seems is quite new, and belive me it is really a very good resort, the service here is excellent. the room we stayed in was excellent. i was on my honeymoon and this place made my trip. it has only a couple of draw backs, first it is far from the city bazar, so u cant find any place else to eat in a walking distance, so u have to compulsary eat there only but anyways food...
