'No scenery in my opinion presents such sublime and delightful contrasts'. This quote by G.C. Barnes is for which of the following district?
Answer: A
The quote is about Kangra.
G.C. Barnes was the British officer who carried out the first regular land revenue settlement of the Kangra district in the 1850s. In his settlement report he described the Kangra valley, with the snow-covered Dhauladhar rising straight out of the green, terraced valley floor, in the words the question quotes, and the line is still the best-known description of the valley.
Kullu, Kinnaur and Chamba have their own famous descriptions, but Barnes wrote as settlement officer of Kangra, and the contrast he praised is the Dhauladhar standing over the Kangra valley.
