India Post Offices in The Dangs, Gujarat

Most of the mail in this hilly, forested district moves through small village counters rather than big town offices. There are 49 post offices in The Dangs spread over just 6 PIN codes, and the shape of that network tells you a lot: 44 of them are branch offices, with 5 sub offices and no head office of its own. Letters and parcels handled here are routed through the Bardoli head office for onward sorting.

The Ahwa area carries the most weight, with the largest share of offices and the district’s main PIN, 394710. From there the network thins out as you move into the Waghai area and around Subir, which sit on PINs like 394715 and 394716. Smaller settlements such as Pimpri are served by these sub offices, while interior villages including Baripada, Borkhal and Bhavandagad depend on branch offices that often run reduced counter hours.

If you are posting from one of those village branch offices, the practical advice is simple: go early in the day. Many of them keep short hours, so a registered article or a parcel handed in late may not catch the same day’s dispatch. The sub offices at Ahwa and Waghai offer fuller counter services if you need Registered Post receipts or want to send anything international through EMS.

To confirm a particular village’s code before you write the address, the PIN code finder covers the whole 394 series here. You can also compare rates on the Speed Post calculator, see every office across the wider Gujarat post office directory, or look at another district in Gujarat through the Amreli post office listings. Once your item is booked, track your post end to end with the receipt number.
