How many seeds per pod ? 
Inflorescence makes me think of Rhynchosia capitata 
Does not look like matching with any Rhynchosia ! I did not check seeds properly but looks like 5-7.
Rhynchosia capitata not listed in Nepal.
but here its just developing. may be that's why its flat.
let it grow the seeds and then we can decide, if that's possible
It is too too far away, about 350 km from Kathmandu for the follow-up !
oh ok
Any idea about the genus ? Tried in Flora of Bhutan, but could not find.
I think same as in SK 2227 17 October 2019

Looks like but unable to ID yet.

Thought of Rhynchosia after seeing … post at Identification of Fabaceae climber, but could not match with any species given in Checklist of Nepal as per
Comparative images at Rhynchosia and as per
https://www.gbif.org/species/5351006
Rhynchosia falconeri also does not look a match.
Cajanus ? C. elongatus or C. villosus

Thanks, ...
I check with both, but not matching as per Cajanus elongatus (Benth.) Maesen and for C. villosus as per GBIF, POWO
I further checked with keys in Flora of Bhutan at Cajanus
I think this is Cajanus grandiflorus (Bentham ex Baker) Maesen (Atylosia grandiflora Bentham ex Baker in J. D. Hooker, Fl. Brit. India 2: 214. 1876; Dunbaria pulchra Baker; Pueraria seguinii H. Léveillé) as per GBIF  High resolution specimen High resolution specimen Flora of China  FOC illustration  CFH  POWO

Size of flowers and pods ? Infloresacence ? Rhynchosia ?
Any idea about the genus ?

lotus ?
It is not Lotus ...!

ok
Check Dunbaria
Two, Dunbaria rotundifolia (Lour.) Merr. and Dunbaria punctata (Wight & Arn.) Benth. 
are listed in Nepal but does not look like matching !
Pl. check with keys of Fabaceae in Flora of Bhutan.
Pl. check comparative images at Fabaceae (Leguminosae)
