Chenopodium album L. ??
To me also appears close to images at Chenopodium album L. 
it is Chenopodium ficifolium.
goosefoot  leaf  =  i do see
but fifcifolium= ficus like, don't see it
can someone please  explain?
it is easy. Some leaves are clearly trilobate with elongated mid-lobe. Second, the inflorescence is leafy and much smaller in C. ficifolium in contrast to almost all forms of C. album. 
Chenopodium filifolium is very common in Central Nepal at the altitudes 500-2000 m.
