Pakistan's Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf is due to travel to India for the first time on Saturday for a day-long pilgrimage, officials say.
Mr Ashraf will visit, in a private capacity, the shrine of a famous Sufi Muslim saint, in Rajasthan state.
Officials said he was not expected to meet any Indian political leaders and the visit was purely a "religious and spiritual trip".
Last year, President Asif Ali Zardari made a similar visit to the shrine.
The Pakistani prime minister and his family are expected to pray at the shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz in Ajmer Sharif, officials say.
Correspondents say Mr Ashraf's visit comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan have risen after six soldiers were killed in clashes since January when the two sides exchanged fire along the de facto border in Kashmir, an area claimed by both countries.
Both sides denied provoking the clashes along the border and eventually they agreed to de-escalate tensions.
Cross-border trade and transport links, which had been suspended for a few weeks following the tensions, also recently resumed
