二泊三日(にはくみっか) is composed of 二泊(にはく) (two nights' stay) + 三日(みっか) (three days).

Pattern: The format X泊(はく)Y日(にち) is the standard way to express trip duration in Japanese:

一泊二日(いっぱくふつか): one night, two days
二泊三日(にはくみっか): two nights, three days
三泊四日(さんぱくよっか): three nights, four days

The number of nights is always one less than the number of days.

Usage: This is the most common format for describing trip length in Japan. It appears in travel brochures, hotel bookings, and everyday conversation. 二泊三日(にはくみっか) is perhaps the most popular duration for domestic weekend trips.
