The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure. At this temperature, liquid gets converted into vapour phase.

Now, if one goes to higher heights, i.e. mountains, pressure decreases. Since, pressure decreases the boiling point also decreases. Hence, if heating rate is same, the time needed to reach the boiling point will decrease.
