Soaltee Westend Resort Chitwan is located in Pathiani, on the edge of Chitwan National Park, close to Bharatpur.

Rooms range from Deluxe Rooms to villa suites and a Presidential Villa. Villa rooms include a large master bedroom for guests who want more space and privacy. The Presidential Villa adds a private plunge pool and Jacuzzi. All rooms include tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen TV, and 24-hour room service.

The resort holds a 5-star rating and includes a spa, a swimming pool with a view, a sun terrace, and gardens, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

Dining options include a restaurant serving British, Indian, Nepalese, and international cuisine, plus a bar, an outdoor fireplace, yoga classes, a fitness center, and a children's playground. On-site venues also include the Sunrise Restaurant and Sunset Bar.

Guest reviews generally point to the pool and spa as standout features, along with clean, well-kept rooms. Some reviews mention that parts of the property show wear, and a few note noise when large tour groups stay at the same time. The resort has 52 rooms in total, making it smaller and more intimate than large hotel chains.

The resort is not on the standard tourist bus network, so getting there requires some planning.

• 1. By bus: Kasara Travels runs the only direct bus from Kathmandu. It is a standard A/C bus, not a luxury coach.
• 2. By private car: Takes roughly 5 to 7 hours from Kathmandu, with more comfort than the bus.
• 3. By flight: A short domestic flight from Kathmandu or Pokhara to Bharatpur Airport, followed by a 30 to 40 minute drive. This is the fastest option.

The resort is about 16 km from Bharatpur Airport and roughly 1.3 km from Bharatpur city center. On arrival, guests have access to a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and airport transportation. Families traveling with children can also use the on-site kids' club.
