Good and providing an approx. altitude is also a big help.

I am in agreement that this is a buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) - widely
cultivated in the Himalaya, especially in the higher inner valleys above 1800m
the lowest part of Ladakh is some 2700m).
There are 3 buckwheats recorded from Ladakh. F.tartaricum (which has less
conspicuous flower-clusters usually greenish flowers and nultes with rough
faces & toothed wavy angles) is even hardier than the above species but of
poorer quality; it may be cultivated up to 4000m.Klimes found it often escapes
from cultivation, a weed in fields, gardens, ditches and irrigation channels,
spreading along roads and trails.
There is also F.kashmirianum - which was not known to Stewart published by
Munshi. It is not in Polygoanceae of 'Flora of Pakistan' with records from
Kashmir & now Ladakh: is very close to F. tataricum but differs in having much
pubescentpetioles; hastate deltoid lamina; tubular, partite, much pubescent(at
base) ochrea; more or less equalperianth segments and keeled (at base) achenes
- so clearly not the plant photographed on the way to Shang-sumdo.
