I think this can be Goodyera repens… please correct me if required..
Thanks for liking … this was the tour with maximum output for me with regard to orchids..
Yes it is G.repens
This is Goodyera marginata.
G. marginata will have proper white band along the mid rib of leaves for an easy id. But there are other features too.

Goodyera repens from Shimla.
Nice to now that you have found them in Shimla..
Very non typical habitat for Goodyera repens.
They usually grow on road sides usually vertically, but this seems to like Pine forests.
This is Goodyera marginata.
G. marginata will have proper white band along the mid rib of leaves for an easy id. But there are other features too.

On my walk last Sunday I photographed this orchid too. The flowers were not yet fully open. The leaves told me that the plant was Goodyera repens. Please advise.

Images of Goodyera repens in efi:
Are the images at efi page at Goodyera repens correctly identified or all these are of G. marginata as per discussions at Help me to identify this plant- 110921SA1 ?
To me VOF plant looks doubtful (G. serpens), as leaves look wholly green not even white markings of G. repens
All Chakrata plants do seem to have both white marking and and central white band, seems to fit marginata
But then … knows my meagre knowledge of Orchids and would have last say.
Awaiting … views.
