Sarah Palin will visit India in March to participate in the annual conclave of a magazine, according to an aide.

Palin's aide Rebecca Mansour confirmed the details on Wednesday by tweeting a link to the organisation's website, writing, "Governor Palin will be travelling to India next month".

The former Alaska governor is scheduled to speak at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi on March 19, reports the Politico.

It is unknown whether Palin will be paid for the appearance, but the $1,850 price tag to attend the two-day event makes it seem likely that she got her quote -- reportedly $100,000 per appearance.

Palin's aides have been weighing a foreign trip for months. They had earlier disclosed that they were planning a trip to the United Kingdom and Israel sometime later this year.

The conference's choice of Palin is an odd one. She will be the only American politician attending the conference, which is stacked with Indian and Pakistani officials, business leaders, public figures and entertainers.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will kick off the conference with the keynote speech. Palin is expected to deliver her address the next day and her speech will bring the conference to a close.
