The Three Passes trek is considered a challenging trek, requiring a good level of physical fitness and endurance. The trek involves walking for 6-7 hours a day, with steep ascents and descents, and navigating through rocky and uneven terrain.

The difficulty level of the Three Passes trek can be broken down into several aspects:

* **Altitude**: The trek reaches an altitude of 5,545 meters at Kongma La, which can cause some altitude sickness in trekkers.
* **Terrain**: The trek involves navigating through rocky and uneven terrain, with steep ascents and descents.
* **Physical demands**: The trek requires a good level of physical fitness, with daily walks on uneven terrain, and carrying a backpack with personal gear.

* **Previous trekking experience**: At least 2-3 weeks of trekking experience at high altitudes
