Dear Anzar, I don't think that this is Epipactis royleana, which has uniformly purple, rather closed and hanging flowers, with the seed pods often swollen up (due to self-pollination?); see http://www.orchidspecies.com/epiproyleana.htm, etc. I rather think that it could be Epipactis mairei, which has a pinkish color, open light brown lip. It has been reported from Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. See: http://www.orchidspecies.com/epipmairei.htm and http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200028658 Best, Pieter Prins
