Hoya species? Could be but no idea! Yes, should be Hoya. Hoya edenii King ex Hook. f. ?? I think does not matches with images on net like http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.gh00076427 Hoya arnottiana Wight ?? Hoya
I think looks different from Hoya arnottiana as per https://www.myhoyas.com/A/arnottiana/eng.htm I feel this could be Dischidia bengalensis Colebr.
Attached is a PDF document that reports its distribution in Nepal. Kindly validate.
