Cerastium fontanum Baumg. ??
Maybe possible (though not sure) as per links below:

I guess the ID is correct since one of the university students completing thesis on this species has also been validated !
As per POWO and Checklist of Nepal, there are many subspecies/ varieties. Can you confirm as to which one is this ?
Ms. Rashika Kafle has confirmed the ID !
Cerastium fontanum Baumg. !
Cerastium fontanum var. angustifolium (M.Mizush.) H.Hara
Cerastium fontanum subsp. grandiflorum H.Hara
Cerastium fontanum Baumg.
And I guess Cerastium fontanum Baumg. and Cerastium fontanum Baumg. are not the same.
