Location : Chandragiri Hills, Kathmandu, Nepal
Elevation : 8200 ft.

Habit : Wild
Looks different from ... images at Spiraea vaccinifolia
Did not find much description in thd efn.
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=131015
On further scrutiny and as per details and references herein, I feel it may be Spiraea vaccinifolia D.Don only.
I saw the Keys available in Flora of Nepal- Online Flora (as per this Spiraea micrantha and Spiraea bella are very close).
As per these keys and detailed description, it is Spiraea micrantha.
