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.
