Altitude chart
The altitude chart (Figure 1) shows Tengboche as the highest elevation and Phakding as the lowest elevation. The trek starts from 2860 m and reaches 3860 m within three days.

Figure 1: altitude chart of Everest Panorama trek
Altitude sickness occurs in higher elevation (above 3500 m). Since the highest elevation of Everest view trek is 3860 m, it holds less chance of altitude sickness. The trekkers will spend one night in Phakding and the other night in Namche, which helps to adjust the changing atmospheric condition of mountains.
