Thank you.

This should either be a Habenaria or Platanthera. Cant confirm with these pics.

OK this is interesting. I would say this is Satyrium nepalense. Keep guessing how!!

Interesting, one of the few orchids I have photographed in flowering, from Chakrata and Chikmagalur.

If you notice, there are two spurs coming out of the bud. So it has to be only one genus from Western Himalaya and that is Satyrium and nepalense because the spur is too long.
