This should be Vincetoxicum canescens as per images and details herein.

Also check VOF Week: Cynanchum vincetoxicum en route Vasundhara falls

Looks different from Vincetoxicum hirundinaria as per

Although some references at Vincetoxicum hirundinaria (eFloras and BSI links are not opening), give distribution of Vincetoxicum hirundinaria Medik. in Himalayas, Catalogue of Life (annual checklist 2019) does not give its distribution in India.

[J.M. Garg]

Taking it as Vincetoxicum kenouriense (Wight) Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient., pl. 1614. 1850 (syn: Cynanchum kenouriense Wight, Contr. Bot. India 58. 1834.) as per Taxonomy of Vincetoxicum s.str. (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae) from southern Asia including three new species and resurrected names-  Sayed Afzal Shah, Amir Sultan, Jun Wen, Zahid Ullah, Surat Un Nisa, Zhumei Ren, Muhammad Maqsood Alam, Javed Iqbal, Abdul Samad Mumtaz - June 2021PhytoKeys 179(1):35-73

It states "Corolla tube ca. 1 mm long, lobes oblong with obtuse apices, 3–3.5 × 1–2 mm, glabrous within or sparse caducous trichomes present"

Thanks to the authors for solving the puzzle.
