OOOppps...meant to say 1/11/2017 to 22/11/2017. I know its peak season but I want the good weather for the views.
I did look at Greenline Bus website and it says the KTM/Chitwan/Pokhara service is still cancelled.
Any on the ground updates on what is happening. Local buses are OK for me but probably too scary for my traveling companions.

I visited Chitwan in April two years ago for three nights. Lots to do, most hotels can arrange tours for you. Walking, canoe and driving tours of the park. We stayed at Hotel Jungle Vista. Basic, clean, great staff and OK food. Wide range of lodging in the area.

Microbuses are reasonably safe. Other tourist bus companies are still operating this route

I agree that buses are generally fine - but this is a very tight timetable, and things in Nepal can be unpredictable with landslides, strikes (bandhs) which bring everything to halt in daylight hours - so it might help to build in some flexibility.

I'd recommend getting in touch with an agency (I use fujiyama treks - they do much more than trekking and will help organise anything, to suit you), and see what they recommend.
