What could it be at that altitude?

This does seem to match Cirsium arvense - which is very common in wet or poorly drained soils or on the banks of irrigation ditches, from the plains to 4300m in Ladakh. I even find it as weed in my garden in the UK!  Some divide it into a number of varieties.  As for C.verutum (which Stewart had as a synonym for C.argyracanthum this is not recorded for Ladakh but known from N.Pakistan & Jammu @ 300-2800m.
