Scindapsus officinalis (Roxb.) Schott (Araceae) is a common climber in lower hills of Uttarakhand.

Nice showing another interesting plant.

Looks different from images at POWO & Scindapsus officinalis
It is Rhaphidophora glauca (Wall.) Schott, as per images and details herein.
Leaves are variable depending upon the maturity. Pl. see GBIF.

Yes, it is correctly identified now. Thank you …
Will try to see an earlier stage of flowering where a large spathe is visible.

Does not match with images of Rhaphidophora glauca at

Couple of friends guessed it as same. But I have no idea.
Pl. check at Scindapsus officinalis (Roxb.) Schott as per comparative images at Araceae.‎
I think close.
Looks like matching but a vast difference in the elevation.
Can we confirm about the elevation from some other source?
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=220012251

Pl. also check if it is cultivated.

Elevation can not be so low as per distribution map at http://e-monocot.org/taxon/urn:kew.org:wcs:taxon:188567

Yes, looks different from images at POWO & Scindapsus officinalis
It is Rhaphidophora glauca (Wall.) Schott only, as per images and details herein.
Leaves are variable depending upon the maturity. Pl. see GBIF.
