Thanks, Samiran ji, for the initial Id.

We have only Astilbe rivularis only as a wild species so far in efi.

Pl. check with comparative images at Astilbe

Samiran ji is right.  I had collected the same in North Sikkim at 8000 ft. from the bank of Lachen Chu.

Thanks, Samiran ji.

Sir, You can see astilbe rubra... If you cant find then you search for Aruncus genus of Rosaceae.

I think it should be Astilbe rubra as suggested by Samiran ji as per comparative images and details of species at Astilbe and as per keys at Flora of China and details at Flora of China & FoC illustration
