Q. Who was the British traveler that discovered Nainital?
Answer: P. Barron
Notes: Nainital, a hill town in Kumaon (now Uttarakhand), was discovered in 1841 by Peter (P.) Barron, an English sugar trader. Barron's visit from 1839-1841 marked the start of Nainital's development as a British hill station. Local people and officials like G.W. Traill knew of the lake earlier, but British records credit Barron with "discovery."
