Prunus dulcis (Mill.) Webb
syn: Prunus amygdalus Batsch; Amygdalus communis L.
The almond tree, in fruit in Kashmir. I missed flowering but could catch some with young fruits.
The plant was known as Prunus amygdalus till Webb in 1967 suggested the correct combination.  
The Plant List which is more known for confusions, seems to have made the worst conclusion in this case. Prunus dulcis (Mill.) Webb. is regarded as synonym of Prunus amygdalus Batsch (1801), but latter is considered as unresolved name. To top it all Prunus amygdalus Stokes (1812) is considered as accepted name.

Seen this Almond tree with small green fruit.
Kindly validate if this is the edible Almond.  
Almond or Badam (in Hindi) is planted in the area around Naini Tal. The photographs here are clicked at a stage when fruits have set, otherwise entire tree remain covered with white flowers. To me it is edible almond Prunus amygdalus (=Prunus dulcis) of Rosaceae.
After few weeks of this stage green fruits are known as 'green almonds' in which kernel is watery but tasty. In the areas of large almond orchards in HP and Kashmir green almond are the fruits which have fallen from trees due to wind. These are much liked by the tourists.

To me leaves and flowers look different from images at Prunus armeniaca 

I think close to images at Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb

To me, it appears Prunus persica 

But flower do not look like matching. 
And Prunus armeniaca L. is farmed in Jomsom.
Thanks, ..., But to me looks different from images at Prunus persica (L.) Stokes (Cultivated)
..., fruit is somewhat compressed and elongated in Prunus dulcis. It is nearly rounded in Prunus persica.
Another option is Prunus mira, very close to P. persica.
I did not find much image in the net for comparison except for a vidio clip and a full tree. As such, I could not decide. However, it is listed in Nepal.
Flower color is more pinkish than mine.
