Everest View Trek Difficulties

This is a short and moderate trek in the Everest region. Trekking through rocky trail with lots of up and the downhill trail makes difficult for the trekkers. But it is an easy trek than trekking all the way to the base camp.

Walk from Lukla to Phakding is easy going for the first day. The second day to the Namche Bazaar is a long day and lots of climbs after lunch. Exploring in Namche is a short and easy day and the last day ascending from Namche to Tengboche is also quite difficult. So you will find the second day is the most difficult.
