On a clear day, the snow-clad mountains of West Sikkim are also visible from this hill. At the summit of this hill, there is a park built for recreational purposes which feature exotic flowers. The park is a popular picnic spot for tourists as well as locals. Overall Deolo provides a panoramic 360 degree view of Kalimpong town and its neighbouring hill.
