I wonder if this could be our elusive Campanula pallida var. tibetica. The broader calyx lobes with overlapping bases look distinctive. the high altitude fits it also. Let us hope to resolve it. It looks more convincing than below: http://www.planetefleurs.fr/Systematique/Campanulaceae/Campan16f.htm
