The Nepalese PM will lead an 11-member delegation, including his wife Sita Dahal, Maoist leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara and government officials.
This is Prime Minister Dahal's first foreign visit within a week of his election to the post of prime minister last week.
A senior Maoist leader told the BBC that India was not happy with the visit of the Nepalese Prime Minister to China.
