This is Strobilanthes lachenensis C.B. Clarke.

It is scattered in the Himalayas from central Nepal to SW China.

Yes, I think this is correctly Strobilanthes lachenenensis. The picture is not so helpful as those sent by Saroj Kasaju which show the habit of the plant and the complete inflorescence. These are usually very important in identifying the different species.

Is it not Strobilanthes attenuata ?

Note compound inflorescence, leaves cuneate, not cordate at base   - it is possible there could be hybrids between lachensisis and attenuata - they certainly hybridize easily when cultivated together.
