Sorbus aucuparia (inflorescence branches and leaves beneath glabrous) or S. foliolosa (infl and leaves below red tomentose).

Close up of leaf or infl should help.

This was a distant shot, Gurcharan ji.
So, am happy with knowing the genus.
Next trip, will visit this plant.
Thank you once again.
Regards.

This appears close to Sorbus foliolosa (Wall.) Spach as per images and details herein.
