I can state with certainty that this is not Primula elatior! The 'Oxlip' has a wide distribution (with 8 subspecies being recognised) but occurs in the wild nowhere near to the Himalaya.
The photo is not good - not close-up to show the flowers or foliage well with the exposure off (exposing correctly for yellow-flowered plants is not easy). I do not have any immediate ideas. Complicated by this being an especially rich area for Primulas esp. ones I am not familiar with, so may struggle to help much beyond saying what it is not.
