Nepal

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is provided in English.
All administrative names, including Provinces (e.g., "Province7 (Sudurpashchim Province)") and Districts (e.g., "Darchula"), are listed in their official English spellings.

Q: What do the abbreviations in the 'post_office_type' column mean?

This column indicates the administrative hierarchy of the post office:
· D.P.O: District Post Office. This is the main postal hub for the district (e.g., "Darchula" with code 10100).
· A.P.O: Area Post Office. These are smaller branches serving specific local areas or villages (e.g., "Rapla", "Duhuti").
· G.P.O: General Post Office (typically found in Kathmandu).
Understanding this type helps in determining the importance and delivery capacity of the location.

Q: Does this dataset include street-level addresses?

No. This is a post office level database.
With approximately 900 records, the dataset lists every official Post Office in Nepal and the locality it serves. It does not contain street names or house numbers, as the postal system in Nepal primarily relies on routing mail to these specific post office nodes.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Nepal uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 10100, 10211).
The first digit typically represents the region, and the codes are hierarchical. For example, a D.P.O. often ends in "00" (like 10100), while its subordinate A.P.O.s follow sequentially (10101, 10102, etc.).

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a three-tier structure:
1. Province: The top-level administrative division (e.g., "Province7").
2. District: The secondary division (e.g., "Baitadi").
3. Post Office: The specific locality or village served.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Given the compact size of the dataset (<1,000 records), it is extremely easy to use in Excel or any application.
