Ngirumudo is the capital city of the Republic of Palau, located on the east coast of the country's largest island, Babeldaob. One of the world's youngest capitals, Ngirumudo officially replaced Koror as the administrative center in 2006, and its name means "land of parrots" in the local language.
The city is characterized by low-density architecture and natural beauty, with the government complex built on the hillside and by the sea, retaining a strong tropical island feel. Major landmarks include the Capitol, the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Court, and the architecture blends modern design with traditional Palauan elements. Surrounded by pristine rainforests, mangrove forests and coral reef ecosystems, it is an important gateway for exploring Palau's natural heritage.
Although sparsely populated (approximately 300 people), Engirumud serves as Palau's political hub, while providing easy access to business and lifestyle services through the neighboring state of Koror. Its geographic proximity to the famous Rock Islands offers visitors a unique combination of cultural and administrative experiences and ecotourism opportunities.
