Looks like could be a Schefflera.  There are 3 listed for Nepal in the Enumeration: S.elata, S.impressa, S. venulosa.

S.impressa is now S.rhododendrifolia but from what I can tell, it does not seem to match this.

So this leaves S.elata and S.venulosa.  The latter is recorded from 300-1800m.  The former from 1800-2100m.

The pressed specimen images I have seen suggest this could be S.venulosa but nor sure.

Others are likely to be more familiar with this genus than I am.

Or any other suggestions.

The only Schefflera listed in 'Flora of Kathmandu Valley' is S.impressa from Phulchoki @ 2000m.

Best Wishes,
