Ngardmau, Traditional state on Babeldaob Island, Palau
Ngardmau spans across 53 square kilometers, encompassing three distinct hamlets named Ngetbong, Ngerutoi, and Urdmang on the western coast of Babeldaob.
The state established its constitutional framework in 1984, implementing a governance system that combines modern administrative structures with traditional chiefdom leadership.
The region maintains stone structures and clan cemeteries that represent familial heritage, with each hamlet preserving its own traditional leadership system.
Visitors require sturdy hiking shoes and sufficient water supplies to explore the trails leading to Taki Falls, the highest waterfall in Micronesia.
The area contains Mount Ngerchelchuus, reaching 217 meters in elevation, which feeds multiple river systems through the dense tropical landscape.
