Ngiwal, Traditional coastal village on Babeldaob Island, Palau
Ngiwal extends across 26 square kilometers of land on the eastern coast of Babeldaob, featuring gardens and agroforestry patches throughout the area.
The original villages of Ngermechau and Ngercheluuk relocated to the current coastal location during the mid-nineteenth century territorial reorganization.
Local families maintain traditional gardens with coconut, betelnut, breadfruit, almond trees, and banana plants according to Palauan agricultural methods.
The village requires high tide access by boat, though a southern dock remains accessible regardless of water levels.
The Ngerbekuu Nature Reserve and Ngemai Conservation Area protect significant portions of the state's natural environment.
