India Post Offices in Nilambur, Malappuram

Nilambur does not have a head office of its own. Its mail and accounts are routed through the Manjerikla head office, while the taluka itself runs 82 post offices, 13 of them sub offices and 69 branch offices. With more than four in five being branch offices, the network is built mainly around small village counters.

Those branch offices carry post into the hilly, forested interior, reaching villages such as Amarambalam, Chokkad, Thuvvur, Vazhikkadavu and Vellayur. Counters like these keep short hours and are not always open all day, so an early visit is the safer bet for posting a parcel or a registered article. Larger settlements, among them Chungathara, Kalikavu and Karuvarakundu, are served by sub offices with steadier service.

A quirk worth knowing: the 18 PIN codes here are not all neighbours. The representative ones include 673641, 676123, 676523, 676525 and 676542, drawn from a few different bands because of how the area sits between districts. The PIN code finder is the quickest way to confirm the right code for an address.

Speed Post and parcels are available across the taluka, with the sub offices handling the heavier bookings and the village counters covering the everyday post. For anything that needs weighing or insuring, the sub offices are the more reliable choice. The postage calculator gives you a rate before you go.

The full list of post offices in Nilambur, with addresses and PIN codes, is on the Malappuram district page, and a sibling taluka like Ernad lists the same way. Once it is sent, track your consignment by its number.
