This couple and many similar pretty bugs were seen at this place called Chhaya Taal, above Hee Gaun. a small hamlet in remote West Sikkim. The local villagers are engaged in large cardamom and tea plantations, besides traditional terrace farming, mainly of corn, wheat, etc. Had camped there overnight on a family angling trip for trout.

Your welcome, I've found a couple more photos of the same Cicada on the internet but sadly I still can't find out it's name...! I won't give up trying but it might take a long time but I'll get there...!
Thanks AngelSeven and Leana for the comments.
Unusual and beautiful!
From It's shape I would say it's a type of Cicada insect in the order Hemiptera...!
