The Himalayan times has been a recent entry into the Nepalese newspaper market but it has already gained grounds due to high standard of journalism and its broad appeal to the masses. International Media Network Nepal Pvt. Ltd. is the publisher of The Himalayan Times.

The Himalayan Times is the largest selling English broadsheet in Nepal. It has also been credited for putting Charles Sobhraj behind bars by publishing his picture in a tourist hub of Kathmandu.
The Himalayan Times is also noted for its spat with its rival in the largest selling Newspaper chain of Nepal: Kantipur. The war of sorts lead to the latter spearheading a negative campaign about the newspaper. The Himalayan Times was then accused of being a ploy of wealthy Indians and being run from India by Kantipur, while in fact both publications are backed in large part by Indian sources
