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. Attachments (1) I guess the ID is correct and the specimen images was from Kaski ! .
