Before flying to the high-altitude memorial in the mountains, the Defence Minister tweeted a photo to say he is all "geared up".
Set with a dark green winter cap snug on his head, a white windproof jacket with his name embossed on it and green windproof pants, the Defence Minister tweeted, "Geared up for my visit to Rezang La."
On a wall behind Mr Singh is a nostalgic black-and-white photo, showing the pilot of an Indian Airline Dakota aircraft who flew to the mountainous region 10 years before the war with China in 1962.
