On Saturday I decided to take a different route to reach Snowline by skirting Triund. It was a steep climb with poorly marked trail and thick undergrowth but I was hoping to find something new. This was the only species new to me and I found it at 3000m somewhere below Snowline. Please advise if I am making a mistake in identifying it.
