Because at higher altitudes of Himalayas there is low concentration of available oxygen so to meet that condition their bodies have higher production of red blood cells i.e. higher RBC count or total haemoglobin and they usually have high breathing rates than do the people living in the plains with more available oxygen in the environment and no altitude related problem.

HLO MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER.

⭐. When people visit high altitude such as Rohtang pass near manali or Manasarovar in Tibet they are subjected to altitude sickness.

⭐. The symptoms are nausea, fatigue and heart palpitations. This is due to less oxygen in atmosphere and low pressure.

⭐. But there are several tribal people who have been living therr for thousands of years.They are acclimatized and do not experience altitude sickness.

⭐. Their body compensates low oxygen availabilitu by increasing red blood cell production and increasing the rate of breathing.
