As you climb in altitude, there is less air above you. With less air pressing down, there is less air pressure, and water vapor can form more easily; that is, it takes less energy (heat) to boil. This table shows the height / temp relationship for boiling water:
Sea Level 212 degrees F
2,000 ft. 208 degrees F
5,000 ft. 203 degrees F
7,500 ft. 198 degrees F
10,000 ft. 194 degrees F
Above 5,000 feet (1,800 metres), you may have to double the normal boiling time. For extreme heights (above 10,000 feet) the water might boil away before your egg is done, unless you use a pressure cooker.

HOW will you eat a hard boil egg if you are not allowed to break the egg shell?
I Will Cook The Boil Egg And I Will Eat
Where the rice boil first at shimla or at delhi and why-?
Boiling point changes with altitude because of the atmospheric pressure. Rice will therefore boil first at Delhi because of the low altitude.
Why is it difficult to hard boil an egg at high altitude?
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
What happens if you boil an egg for 4 minutes at a 6500 ft altitude?
Interesting question. Here is my best guess: An altitude of 6500 feet is around 2 kilometers high. The atmospheric pressure at that altitude is around 800 millibar. According to the '91 CRC Handbook, the boiling point of water at an external pressure of 800 millibar is 93oC. After surfing some cooking sites for a few minutes I learned a couple things: 1. Hard boil an egg it is best not to boil it... you place them in boiling water but immediately kill the heat. 2. Those that did talk about boiliing the egg in water gave a time of around 3 minutes for soft boiling and 8 minutes for hard boiling. So if you were to boil the egg for 4 minutes at a temperature 7 degrees less than the normal boiling point of water, I would guess you would end up with a soft-boiled egg.
How long to boil kiwi egg?
Kiwi are protected birds. Therefore, it is illegal to boil a kiwi egg.
What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
What are the steps to cook a hard boiled egg?
If someone wants to cook a hardboiled egg then they need the water at a decent rolling boil. Then put in the egg and turn the water down to a simmer. Then leave the egg in for four to six minutes. When it is taken out and the shell removed it will be hard boiled.
