'''Day nine''' - '''Lobuche''' to '''Gorak Shep''' (5160m/16929ft): This is a fairly easy hike and should take about 3 hours. You can take a short side-trip and visit the Everest Pyramid, a weather station built by Italians. In Gorak Shep threr is a small, usually frozen lake. This village now has three lodges: Himalaya Lodge, Snowland Lodge and the Kala Pattar lodge. Gorak Shep will be your base to visit the '''Everest Base Camp''' (5380m/17650ft) and to climb the hill behind the lodges called '''Kala Patthar''' (5643m/18513ft) with great views of Mt. Everest and surrounding mountains.
