Many many thanks, thaptor. Indeed it is Pterocarya ...and it is native to Asia. Plus it occurs in Sikkim. So happy to know the name. First time I saw this tree....with its ribbons.
Looks like Pterocarya (Juglandaceae). Don't know if look-alikes exist 8no botanist, myself).
It is the fruitstalks hanging down.
