D9 Itinerary

With the last two days turning overcast and snowy, we decided not to cross the Ngozumpa Glacier to reach Gokyo Lake. Since we switched to a helicopter instead, we needed to wait for good weather before flying, so today turned into free time.

Lobuche, where OXYGEN RESTAURANT & HOME is located, is a small village with only a few shops, but there are some small hills nearby you can walk, and a little lake within the village itself. In the morning you can go to the little lake and photograph the golden peaks reflected in it.
