Primula rosea (Section Oreophlomis)

Link to Flora of Pakistan description
P. rosea is an efarinose species common in wet meadows in the NW and N Himalaya from E Afghanistan through N Pakistan and Kashmir to Garwhal. In cultivation, it is usually a deep pink, but in the wild it can be much paler. Has been hybridized with P. clarkei in cultivation. Looks similar to P. warshenewskiana early in the season, but the size difference is apparent as the plant ages.
