What is a Nepal postal code?
A Nepal postal code is a 5-digit delivery code used by Nepal Post to route letters, parcels, government documents, and courier shipments. Many international websites call it a ZIP code, while some South Asian services call it a PIN code. For a Nepal address, they all mean the same thing: your official 5-digit postal code.
The first part of the number points to the district or regional delivery network. The last part identifies the local post office or service area. In large places such as Kathmandu Valley, one district can have multiple related codes covering separate counters, branch offices, or neighborhood-level delivery points.
First 2 digits
44
Regional routing identifier
Last 3 digits
600
Post office or delivery zone
Example: Kathmandu's main code is 44600. Nearby branch offices may use closely related codes such as 44601, 44605, or 44618.
Why postal codes matter in Nepal
- Online shopping: Daraz and other stores use postal codes to validate delivery zones.
- Banking and KYC: Banks, remittance platforms, and finance forms often ask for your permanent or current area code.
- Government paperwork: Passport, PAN, VAT, company registration, and civic forms frequently require a valid code.
- Courier services: DHL, FedEx, Aramex, Nepal Post EMS, and domestic couriers use postal codes to reduce delivery mistakes.
- International websites: If a form says ZIP code, you can enter your Nepal postal code there.
- Fixing "Checkout Errors: International sites often block orders with empty ZIP fields. Using your 5-digit code clears these "address errors" so your package actually ships
- Instant Verification: For Bank KYC or PAN applications, the code acts as a digital shortcut, helping systems verify your location faster than a long handwritten address.
How to write a Nepal address with postal code
When you fill out a courier label, shopping profile, or official form, keep the address order simple and readable. The district and postal code line should stay together so delivery staff can verify it quickly.

Quick address tips
- Use the district name and postal code on the same line.
- If a small village does not have its own listing, use the nearest official post office code.
- For online shopping, the district head office code usually works if the site does not support sub-office names.
- Double-check Kathmandu Valley codes because nearby municipalities often have different numbers.
- Stick a Landmark on It: Postal codes get your mail to the zone, but a nearby "Chowk," temple, or school gets it to your hand. Couriers in Nepal rely on landmarks more than house numbers.
- Phone Number = The Real Zip Code: Never skip the mobile number. Most local postmen won't even start their bike until they’ve called you to confirm you're home.
- The Ward Number Shortcut: Adding your Ward No. (e.g., Ward 3) is the fastest way for sorters to filter mail into the right delivery bag.
