For me there is only 1 candidate possible, however, perspective is a little bit tricky for the markings and the shape of the brighter area. But it must be Nymphalis xanthomelas fervescens, the subspecies from Nepal (see distribution). http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/1142-Nymphalis/Nymphalis-xanthomelas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphalis_xanthomelas
