Images are not of Actinodaphne sikkimensis, It is Litsea species. Flowers are lacking but very near to Litsea chartacea (Wall. ex Nees) Hook.f.
L. chartacea
I feel it can be Litsea doshia (D.Don) Kosterm. as per POWO specimen and GBIF specimens- one and two and Online Flora of Nepal.
Finally, flowers after 3 and half years.

Hope ID is correct.
Is it from the same place: Godawari, Lalitpur,, Nepal?
Same tree.
So ID is OK according to flowers ?
I think so.
Yes. Appears to be similar.

I think you are right although I do not have detailed knowledge in Litsea. So I remained silent.
Publication on Indian Litsea is overdue.
