India Post Offices in Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir

In the southern hills of the Kashmir Valley, postal delivery in Anantnag has to reach up side valleys and into villages that sit some way off the main road. The district works with 107 offices in total, covering 15 pincodes that largely start with 192. The make-up is rural through and through: 11 sub offices doing the counter-heavy work and 96 branch offices spread across the slopes and villages, with no separate head office sitting inside the district.

Because of that, the district’s mail and accounts route through the Anantnag head office, which acts as the upstream point for the sub and branch offices here. For anything that needs a record, Registered Post and international EMS are handled most reliably at the sub offices in the larger towns rather than at a small village branch.

Coverage is reasonably even across five tehsils, though Kokernag holds the most offices and pincodes of the lot. You’ll find counters in and around Achabal (192201), Bijbehara (192124) and the Anantnag City area (192101), with the network carrying on into villages like Marhama, Khiram, Hugam and Kullar where a branch office is often the nearest postal point. The list of post offices in Anantnag gives you the Kokernag side, while the Shangus area offices cover another part of the district.

A word on timing, especially in winter: the village branch offices tend to keep short hours and a single shift, often opening from about nine in the morning. Get to the counter early so your post leaves the same day, and ring ahead if snow is likely.
