The above plant is not Momordica charantia. It is rather Cyclanthera pedata often sold in Indian markets (especially Sikkim, Manali, etc.) under the name Karela (once uploaded by Nabha ji under the name Meetha Karela. I had uploaded this from Manali (digitately lobed leaves and smaller white flowers are characteristic):
May be confused but distinct from the real Meetha Karela Momordica dioica. Momordica has much larger usually yellow flowers.

Yes it is Cyclanthera pedata.
We call it 'Chhuchey Karela' due to the fruit having a pointed curved
tip (Chhuchey in Nepali) in Sikkim.
It is not at all bitter or sweet, but makes quite a tasty vegetable
(fruits and even tender leaves)
