It could be a species of Toxocarpus. Please check if any species are reported from the Himalayan region. There is atleast one species - T. himalensis

.

Thank you Navendu Ji for the lead.

Could it be Toxocarpus wightianus Hook. & Arn. ?

I think it looks different from images at GBIF and no distribution in the area (even in the area bordering Nepal) as per POWO. 

To me appears close to Toxocarpus himalensis as per GBIF specimens (one) and POWO.

We are also closing on to Toxocarpus himalensis. Some additional  exploration is required.

It will be a new Genus for Nepal.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Garg / Navendu Ji.

Enclosing a link showing leaf images. Please see if it is OK. https://ppbc.iplant.cn/sp/27182

Thank you.

These leaves look quite different from those of Toxocarpus wightianus Hook. & Arn. as per GBIF and those of Toxocarpus himalensis as per GBIF specimens (one) and POWO.

These leaves (at https://ppbc.iplant.cn/sp/27182) look quite different from those of Toxocarpus wightianus Hook. & Arn. as per GBIF and those of Toxocarpus himalensis as per GBIF specimens (one) and POWO.

May be immature leaves.
