India Post Offices in Almora, Uttarakhand

Up in the Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand, postal reach matters more than postal scale, and that is the story in this slice of Almora. The directory lists 27 post offices in Almora here, working across twelve PIN codes. What stands out is that every single one is a branch office: there is no head office and no sub office in this set, just village-level counters carrying the load. Most of the PINs run in the 263 range, with one head-village number being 263132.

All 27 offices fall within the single Sult area, which keeps the network compact in coverage even as it scatters across ridge-top settlements. You will find them in villages such as Bharari, Dhanachuli and Jaurasi, each looking after the homes and fields nearby. A few more, including Burakota, Debayal and Jamani, fill in the gaps between the ridges. Since none of these is a head office, the mail is sorted onward through the Haldwani head office before it leaves or enters the district. Alongside 263132 you will see PIN codes like 262522, 263135 and 263153 in this set.

Hill branch offices like these usually keep short, fixed hours, often opening only around mid-morning, so it pays to reach the counter early. If you are sending a speed post Almora item or a parcel, the branch can book it, but plan around those timings. Check a village PIN on the PIN code finder and estimate postage with the Speed Post calculator first.
