According to the POWO, 3 sps., australis, flexuosa and spiralis have got distribution in Himachal Pradesh. I guess this could be Spiranthes flexuosa (Sm.) Lindl. as suggested by Dr. Kumar.

Could be Spiranthes sisnensis or S. himalayensis.

But still I am not sure as Spiranthes is a complex genus with some newly described species from Himalayas like S.himalayensis . I hope orchid experts like Pankaj Kumar sir will help to confirm it. The plants are found growing in association with Epipactis veratrifolia and Equisetum sp. in marshy fields.
