Viburnum opulus, the snowball or European Craneberry, cultivated in gardens in Kashmir
easily differentiated from similar looking Hydrange as in trilobed leaves, reduced calyx and 5-lobed corolla.

Hydrangea arborescens from Pahalgam, Kashmir (15/06/2011 NSJ-02):
Hydrangea arborescens from Pahalgam, Kashmir. Pl validate.

This is not Hydrangea arborea which has similar flower heads but the leaves are not lobed.
This is Viburnum opulus, snowball tree, Guelder-rose.

Viburnum opulus for me too.  I think this is crane berry plant, which produces tasty fruits, which I have eaten in U.S.
