India Post Offices in Tuensang, Nagaland

Tuensang spreads its postal network fairly evenly across four taluka areas rather than concentrating it in one place. The district has 50 post offices in all, of which 45 are branch offices serving villages and 5 are sub offices for the busier counter work. Together they cover 12 PIN codes, more than you might expect for a district this remote.

The offices are split across areas such as Tuensang Sadar, Nokhu, Longkhim and Noksen, with the Sadar area holding the most at 17. You can open the Tuensang Sadar post offices list or the Nokhu taluka post offices to see what falls under each. Recognisable places on the map include Shamator, Noklak and Longkhim, while smaller villages like Angangba, Chungtor and Hukir depend on the branch offices closest to them.

The branch offices are the workhorses here, and they usually keep short hours with one person at the counter, with opening times varying a bit between villages. So if you have something to send, get to the office early in the day rather than risk a closed counter. Tuensang has no head office of its own, which means consignments are routed through the Kohima head office before they move on across the country, and that extra leg is worth keeping in mind for anything time-sensitive.

For documents and goods that need to travel quickly, Speed Post and parcel services are the obvious pick, and the sub offices are best placed to book them. PIN codes across the district mostly begin with 798, such as 798611, 798612 and 798616. Use the PIN code finder to match an address to its code, and the Speed Post rate calculator to work out postage in advance.
