Is Everest Base Camp Trek Hard?

I recently did the Everest Base Camp trek, and honestly it's not as scary as people say, but it's definitely challenging in its own way. The trail isn't extremely steep most of the time, and daily hike are usually around 5 to 7 hours. The real challenge comes from altitude that you are going up over 5,300 meters, so your body need some time to adjust to low oxygen, and some people might feel mild altitude sickness.
So, is it hard? Yes, mostly because of the high altitude and length, but still doable if you prepare properly and walk at your natural pace while adjusting to the low oxygen. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who's ready for a true Himalayan adventure because it's totally worth the effort.
 
Nice to know that, since you already did a hiking, you should be familiar what to expect and what not to, so my question is as a beginner Hiker it's is wasy for him to do this?
