I guess it may be genus Hydrangea, though inflorescence appears different..open flower may solve the doubts.

Thanks, Navendu ji.

I think it may be Hydrangea anomala D. Don 

[Saroj Kasaju]

Yes Navendu ji it is not  Dichroa .

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[navendu page]

Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

[Saroj Kasaju]

A bit late to re-visit the location and unable to find flowering, however

I could get some fruiting images  Hope, this will validate the ID.

Thank you.

A member of Araliaceae, not sure which genus.

Navendu

[Saroj Kasaju]

Dear Navendu ji,

It is already identified as Hydrangea  anomala. 

Please check earlier mail.

Thank you.

Oh I see! I had deleted the original images, so these images do not show up in my thread and with the just the fruits I thought it was some Araliaceae. 

Thanks again, now I know what Hydrangea fruits looks like. I cant validate it since I dont have access to the right literature. 

Navendu

[J.M. Garg]

Closest seems to be Hydrangea anomala D. Don as per FOC illustrations (although images shown here appears to be of dried fruits) for species found in Nepal below:
