Yes because at high altitudes our body can't get sufficient oxygen. By which our nose starts bleeding

Nosebleeds can be classed as anterior or posterior.
In anterior nosebleeds, the bleeding comes from the wall between the two nostrils. This part of the nose contains many delicate blood vessels. Anterior nosebleeds are easily treated at home; this is likely to be the type of nosebleed seen in a child.
In posterior nosebleeds, the bleeding originates further back and higher up the nose in an area where artery branches supply blood to the nose; this is why the bleeding is heavier. Posterior nosebleeds are often more serious than anterior nosebleeds and may require medical attention. They are more common in adults.
Causes of anterior nosebleeds
Sometimes, the cause of anterior nosebleeds is unknown. However, common causes include:
Picking the inside of the nose, especially if this is done often, if the fingernails are long, and if the inside of the nose is already irritated or tender.
A knock or blow to the nose could damage the delicate blood vessels of the mucous membrane.
Sinusitis - an inflammation of the sinuses (air-filled cavities of the bone and skull surrounding the nose).
A cold, flu or a nasal allergy can cause a nosebleed for various reasons: People with these conditions blow their nose more often. Also, the inside of the nose may be irritated and tender during a viral infection, making it more susceptible to bleeding.
Deviated septum - when the wall separating the two nostrils is off center, or deviated.
Hot climates with low humidity or changes from bitter cold to warm, dry climates can cause drying and cracking inside the nose, which can lead to a nosebleed.
High altitude - as altitude increases, the availability of oxygen decreases, making the air thinner and drier. The dryness can cause the nose to bleed.
Excessive use of certain kinds of medications, such as blood thinners or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen.
Liver disease can interfere with blood clotting and result in frequent and/or severe nosebleeds.
Excessive use of illegal drugs, such as cocaine.
Posterior nosebleed causes
high blood pressure
nasal surgery
calcium deficiency
exposure to chemicals that may irritate the mucous membrane
blood diseases, such as hemophilia or leukemia
some tumors
Other causes of nosebleed
