India Post Offices in Kohima, Nagaland

The Kohima head post office, at PIN 797001 in the state capital, is the anchor for the whole district network. Everything else feeds into it: across the district there are 48 post offices in Kohima, sorted into 1 head office, 8 sub offices and 39 branch offices spread over 12 PIN codes. The sub and branch offices in the surrounding hills report up to the Kohima head office for dispatch and delivery.

Offices are shared fairly evenly across several areas rather than crowded into one. The Chiephobozou area has the largest cluster, and there is steady coverage around Tseminyu and Jakhama as well. Jakhama itself sits on PIN 797006, while the head office and the central offices use the 797002 to 797004 codes. Climb into the villages and you reach places like Jotsoma, Khuzama, Dihoma and Chiechama, each tied to a small branch office.

Those village branch counters keep short, fixed hours, so post in the morning if you want your article to leave the same day. A letter handed in late at a hill branch will usually wait until the next dispatch before it even reaches the head office. For anything that needs a stamped receipt or is travelling outside India, the sub offices and the head office handle Registered Post and international EMS more comfortably than a small branch, and staff there can answer questions about packing and customs declarations too.

To confirm which code covers a specific village, the PIN code finder lists the 797 range used here. Work out postage on the Speed Post calculator, see the full Nagaland post office directory, or look at another district in the state through the Dimapur post office listings. Once you have a receipt, track your post from booking to delivery.
