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

stephanianum. Petals look different. Also, in Erodium stephanianum
flowers, looking from above, the sepals, with long pin-like tips
should be visible alternating with the petals.

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.

the flowers and the buds are very much like Geranium and one Geranium leaf
left to the stem is also visible.

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.
