Thanks, Singh ji.
It may be Leontopodium stracheyi.

Leontopodium stracheyi seems out of range as well as not mentioned in in Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton.
I think it better matches with Leontopodium himalayanum with details in Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton with links as below:

To me it looks more close to Leontopodium jacotianum!

A lot number of species have been established after FBI, and unless we have a reliable key  of Himalayan species, it may be difficult. L. jacotiatum has stolons (not found in L. himalayanum/stracheyi), and unless we have photographs of basal branches, it may be difficult from photographs.

Leontopodium himalayanum DC looks a closest match.
Thank you

Image quality not sufficient for ID ! Any further opinion on Leontopodium himalayanum DC looks a closest match. ??
my earlier suggestion : 
Thank you.
