The data behind this site

Every postal code on this site comes from the official list published by the Department of Postal Services, General Post Office, Nepal. This page explains how we organize that data and how we present it on each page.

What the data covers

• 7 provinces.
• 77 districts.
• 753 local levels (palikas), each with its own 5-digit postal code.
• 6,743 wards, each with a 7-digit ward code.

How each place is presented

Every local level has one page, and every page shows the same set of facts:

• The new 5-digit postal code, as the main answer.
• The name in English and in Nepali.
• The type of local level, such as Metropolitan City or Rural Municipality.
• The district and province it belongs to.
• The 7-digit code for every ward.
• The old code from the 1991 system, but only when we are certain which palika it belongs to.

District and province pages list the places inside them, so you can browse from the top down.

How we keep it accurate

• Codes are read from a stored copy of the official list by a script, not typed by hand.
• Codes are always handled as text, so no digit is ever dropped or changed.
• Every build checks the data, and the build stops if any check fails.
• A place, a ward or an old code is never guessed. If we are not sure, we leave it out.

We check the General Post Office's postal code list and its guidance regularly, and update this site when anything changes. Our copy of the list was last retrieved on 29 September 2026. The Sources and method page explains where each part of the data comes from and how old codes are matched.

Using the codes

Every code is on its place's page, and you can copy any code with one tap. To learn what each digit means, read how a Nepal postal code is built.
