wild but considered sacred? is it in temple grounds? It looks like Alseodaphne semecarpifolia Nees
Not sure since since it is not listed in Nepal. What Lauraceae species are found in Nepal? I am just going on what I can see of the flowers, the red peduncles, colour of new foliage etc. A Persea species, then seems more likely.
My apologies for wasting time with mere guesswork. Pl. check.
Cannot not decide …!
I guess its Persea and more likely P gamblei. Probably you have already checked this. I will go for Machilus odoratissima Nees, as per details and references herein. Thank you … I guess matching.

This medium size tree is the only sample I have seen so far (I will probably see more once I know its identity). I first noticed it last summer when I saw abnormal growth on several of its leaves. The growth is still there but it is brown and brittle in stead of pink and firm. The bruised leaves have a strong betel like smell. Please help identify it.

Looking lauraceae member          Thank you for resurfacing this, I had the opportunity to see the tree in flower last year and think it is likely to be Machilus odoratissima. Here are a few images to support my ID. 9 images. Machilus? I think it could be Machilus odoratissima. To me also appears close to images at Machilus odoratissima Nees and also as per comparative images at Machilus. I agree with you.     Persea odoratissima from Chopta Uttarakhand-GS06112021-1: 4 images. Persea odoratissima (King ex Hook.f) Kostermans
The species distinguished from another West Himalayan species in coriaceous leaves having 7-13 pairs of nerves, sepals oblong, reflexed in fruit, fruit ellipsoid up to 15 mm long, 7 mm broad.
Accepted name Machilus odoratissima Nees Now it is Machilus odioratissima. . References:
