Dear All: I think this is YARROW. The leaves and the flower umbelliform remind me of a pink garden cultivar of Yarrow.... Achillea millefolium.... a variety is endemic to Himalayas also... Yarrow is a very important plant in herbal remedies... I have experienced one variety growing in the grass meadow in NY which had leaves if chewed made cough disappear and mouth and tongue go numb for about half hour... Muthuji: do you have closer /better pictures of the leaves... they tend to be lacy ..in laymen's term...
Scent is in flowers, stems, and leaves....of Yarrow...
