The Asters and Erigerons in the Himalaya are difficult. Just giving your images a quick look, they do not seem to match what I currently understand to be Aster himalaicus - which I came across during my first visit to Nepal below Dhaulagiri ice-falls in the Upper Kali Gandaki.
According to Flowers of the Himalaya its altitudinal range is from 3600-4500m, so a population as low as 2700m would be surprising. Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal gives 3500-5200m. I have quite a number of photos of Asters from the Himalaya that I can only give as Aster sp. Until I have the opportunity of investigating the genus/genera further, then Aster sp. is the best I can do. The late AJC Grierson at Edinburgh Botanics specialised in Asteraceae. Is there anyone with specialist knowledge of these genera? And even if there is, do your images show sufficient detail?
