This should be Erodium.
By the way are you sure Erodium stephanianum Willd. is distributed in Sikkim?

On second thought, I think I concur with Pankaj's earlier view that it
is a Geranium species, and the leaves in the background belong to
another plant (possibly an Eordium). In fact, right behind the flower
and the buds, is visible a leaf, which is very much like a Geranium
leaf.
