It looks alike...but the elevation and detail characters are not matching (especially corona) to Ceropegia hookeri C.B.Clarke ex Hook.f

Not satisfied with C. hookeri as it has glabrous Corolla lobes, hairy at neck of corolla tube 
but this species attached above has long and hairy corolla lobes, glabrous corolla tube

Checked at efloraofindia..not matching...

Does any one have the photo of C. hookeri ?,  
please attach here for comparison...

Bijay

Also leaf is not matching as C hookeri,  has ovate-lanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate leaf...which is different here....

It is not C.hookeri ( has inflorescence 1 or 2 flowered and corolla narrowing gradually from base to throat) , but here it is 4-5 flowered and corolla bulbous at base, Also corolla lobes are different.

I think it's close to Ceropegia pubescens Wall. as per comparative images at Ceropegia
Your colour of column is on the maroonish side and hairy on the corona. Otherwise other aspects are the same.
I also could not find any other species closer.

Colours and hairiness of young flowers/ buds match.

Thank You Garg Ji!
But the base of the corolla tube is more bulbous and the corolla lobes look different. So there is no total matching.

Yes, Bijay ji,
"Corolla yellow, 5-5.5 cm; tube 3-3.5 cm, base slightly inflated, throat 3-5 mm in diam., narrower than base; lobes linear, 2-2.5 cm, basal ca. 1 cm orange-yellow, wider and strongly revolute, apical part ± subulate, purple. "
There seems variation in this portion.
I could find the exact match in an image by Stainton, John David Adam from Nepal as per GBIF.

Thank You Garg Ji!
It Looks similar on images by Adam Stainton.
But both looks a bit dissimlar to C. pubescens
Could not find similar photos with hairy lobes and even not mentioned in text.

I guess this is not C. pubescens and guess not even C. hookeri.
Thank you
