With an increase in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. There effect of atmospheric pressure on billing point of water is such that the boiling point of water decreases with decrease in atmospheric pressure.
So because the boiling point of water decreases, it boils at a lower temperature than what it boils at, at sea level.
