About Himtimes

Our Story

Himtimes.com is Himachal Pradesh’s pioneering online news portal, founded in 1999 and based in Shimla. Established by the late Shri Kanwar GS Chauhan, the site began at a time when digital journalism was in its infancy in India. From those early days of manually produced HTML pages, Himtimes has grown into a modern digital platform, consistently reporting on the people, places, and events of Himachal Pradesh with dedication and integrity.
