India Post Offices in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand

Few districts stretch a postal network the way Uttarkashi does. Its 146 offices are scattered across 21 PIN codes and ten tehsils, climbing through valley after valley of the upper Himalaya. The district doesn’t run a head post office of its own; mail here is sorted up through the Tehri head office, which then feeds the wider Uttarakhand circuit. Locally, 13 sub post offices handle the larger work, while 133 branch offices carry post the last mile into villages high above the roadhead.

Because the terrain is so broken, the offices span far more tehsils than usual. Bhatwari leads with 26 offices, Dunda follows with 22, and Chinyali Saur and Rajgarhi each hold a meaningful chunk of the rest. Among the towns you’ll find counters at Bhatwari (249135), the Chinyalisour side (249196), Burkot (249141) and Gyansu (249193), with Mori serving the far upper valley (249128). The branch offices reach smaller hamlets like Kirasal, Pujargaon, Bhankoli and Dewal, places a vehicle may not always get to easily, where the local branch is often the only formal link to the postal system.

Two things are worth knowing before you post. Branch offices in these villages keep short hours and don’t follow one fixed schedule, with timings shifting from one valley to the next, so reach the counter early, especially in winter when daylight and road access are both shorter. And if you send regularly, the sub offices and larger counters are better suited to business or bulk Speed Post bookings than a small branch with limited capacity, which matters for traders and offices despatching a steady volume of consignments.

To see what each office handles, open the Bhatwari post office directory or the Dunda listing. You can confirm a code on the PIN code finder, estimate postage with the Speed Post calculator, or compare with Almora’s post offices, another district in Uttarakhand. The full set sits on the Uttarakhand post office hub. Whenever you’ve booked an item at one of the post offices in Uttarkashi, you can track it through India Post with the receipt number.
