India Post Offices in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir

Tucked into the southern Kashmir Valley below the Pir Panjal slopes, Kulgam runs its mail through a network built mainly for villages. The district has 44 post offices covering 5 pincodes, and 42 of those are branch offices. Only two are sub-offices, and there is no head office within the district, so post collected across Kulgam is routed through the Anantnag head office before it moves further.

Most of the activity sits in the D H Pora area, which holds well over half of all the district’s counters. Damhal Hanji Pora itself uses pincode 192233, while Yaripora nearby comes under 192232. The remaining offices spread across the Banihal side, where settlements toward the mountain pass rely on their local branch as the practical point for letters, money orders and parcels in a part of the valley where roads can be slow in winter.

A point worth keeping in mind: the village branch offices here keep short working hours, with several opening around quarter to nine in the morning. If you need to send something the same day, take it in early rather than turning up in the afternoon. For Speed Post and parcels, the branch counter accepts your item and feeds it into the chain, so in the hill belt it is wise to allow an extra day for pickup and transit.

You can verify any post offices in Kulgam and their codes with our pincode finder, or estimate postage on the Speed Post calculator. The Banihal area offices and the wider Jammu and Kashmir post office directory are both listed, and the Badgam district directory covers another district in Jammu and Kashmir. After you post, track your item here whenever you need an update.
