To my eye, the shape of the flower (corolla) doesn't agree with
those in the links. Yours are funnel-shaped, whereas those in the
links are like a bell-jar. Length of the sepals doesn't agree,
although it can be believed to be variable. The 3-lobed stigma in your
flowers, is also not seen in the link images.

Since we are discussing Campanula species, let me just add another
picture from the web, of C. colorata.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise pl.
Some earlier relevant feedback:

“Tabish ji
The three stigmas is a a genus character found in all species of Campanula. I was lucky to have frontal view. Broadly infundibuliform flowers are found in this species. Please seen description of C. cana from last link.

Thanks a lot for this link! That settles our doubts I think.
However, I will be on a lookout for the real Campanula cana, since it
is found in the Himalayas even at lower altitudes.
Best wishes
