India Post Offices in Ottappalam, Palakkad

Ottappalam is well served for a taluka, with 90 India Post offices in all. The split leans towards village reach: 62 branch offices, 27 sub offices and one head office at Ottapalam, which carries PIN code 679101. Because the head office sits inside the taluka itself, mail here is processed locally rather than being passed up to another town.

What stands out is how many PIN codes Ottappalam carries. Thirty-one separate codes cover the area, anchored by 679101 at the head office, with outlying panchayats falling under quite different numbers such as 678510, 678593 and 678595. That spread reflects how the land is split between several growing towns, and the same locality can sit under a code you would not expect. The PIN code finder saves a lot of back-and-forth when you only know the place name.

Among the post offices in Ottappalam you will find counters in Ambalapara, Cherpalcheri and Chalavara, alongside village offices at Nellaya and Thachampara. With 27 sub offices in the mix, the fuller range of work, Speed Post and parcels included, is handled at more locations than in most talukas, so you are rarely far from a counter that can weigh and book an article on the spot. The 62 branch offices fill in the gaps for ordinary letters and savings work in the smaller settlements.

To see how the taluka fits the district, the Palakkad post office hub lists everything, and Alathur sits alongside it. Estimate cost first with the Speed Post calculator, then track your article after booking.
