Humro Home Charkhole is a two-storied building off the main road leading to the Charkhole Hilltop. One can breathe in the fresh mountain air once you get off the vehicle and off to one side of the property, espy a great view of the Kanchanjungha range.

Location / Accessibility
The primary attraction is the great mountain view. Being in a quiet and peaceful corner of the hills, the village is an excellent place for one to walk around and enjoy nature's bounty. The forested hills are also a great place to go for short and medium treks. Charkhole is also a very good birding destination, where you can spot some rare species of Himalayan birds and butterflies.
Loleygoan and Chuikhim are the two popular tourist destinations near Charkhole, both within a short driving distance from here.
Loleygaon is just 12 km through a heavily forested road. However, the travel time will entirely depend on the road condition. Since the road is not very often used, it can take quite a long if the road is not in good condition. Loleygaon can also be reached by a trek through the forests which take about 2 hours. Chuikhim on the other hand is about 18 km away and should be reachable in 45 minute drive.
