Melekeok Palau - The World's Least Populated Capital City
Melekeok Palau - The World's Least Populated Capital City in Palau
Melekeok, state in Palau, western Pacific Ocean. It is located on the east coast of the country’s largest island, Babelthuap. Ngerulmud, the site of the country’s capital, is in Melekeok state; in 2006 the Palau government transferred the capital there from Koror city, on the island of Koror.
The primary focus of activity in the area is the large Neoclassical capitol complex, built on land donated by leading residents of Melekeok state and completed in 2006. Its domed central building, where the Olbiil Era Kelulau (National Congress) meets, resembles the United States Capitol.

Waterfalls in Ngardmau State in Palau
A 30-minute walk down from the Compact Road on a VERY primitive & muddy trail which includes hiking down a steep streambed and across a knee-deep river.
