Seeking to strengthen military ties, Nepal's Army General Gaurav Shumsher Rana will embark on a five-day visit to India starting Monday.
During his visit, Mr Rana, who is also the honorary General of the Indian Army, will review the passing out parade of the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun on June 14, Army officials said.
Besides his Indian counterpart Gen Bikram Singh, Gen Rana will also meet other top Indian civilian and military officials.
