The former king will visit Kalika Bhairav temple in Baglung first and will travel to Parabat, his aide Sagar Timilsina informed. In Parbat, Gyanendra will visit Gupteshwor and Kalika temple according to him.

The local administrations have beefed up security in the districts in view of former king's visit as various political parties have been protesting against him accusing that he was trying to take advantage of country's political imbroglio.

Gyanendra had cancelled his trip to Myagdi headquarters Beni on Friday after the political parties declared a bandh to disrupt his visit. nepalnews.com
