We present $$^{27}$$Al NMR measurements of the Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/$$T$$$$_1$$ in the normal state for a single crystal of the heavy-fermion superconductor NpPd$$_5$$ Al$$_2$$ ($$T$$$$_{rm c}$$ = 4.9 K). We report here that 1/$$T$$$$_1$$ shows a large anisotropy with a different temperature dependence for $$H$$ $$parallel$$ $$a$$ and $$H$$ $$parallel$$ $$c.$$ 1/$$T$$$$_1$$ for $$H$$ $$parallel$$ $$c$$ shows a power-law temperature dependence $$sim$$$$T$$$$^{0.38}$$, while 1/$$T$$$$_1$$ for $$H$$ $$parallel$$ $$a$$ shows a $$T$$-linear dependence at low temperatures in fields well above $$H$$$$_{rm c2}$$. From the analysis of 1/$$T$$$$_1$$, $$XY$$-type anisotropy of AFM spin fluctuations is found to become prominent below 20 K.
