Additional Information

Meru temple is acknowledged as the largest temple on Lombok Island. It possesses a distinctive architectural style characterized by its multi-tiered roofed Meru. The temple, made in the 18th century, was a communal effort by 33 villages in Lombok. Mayura Water Palace, constructed in 1744, is inclusive of the ex-royal family’s temple which devout Lombok Hindus visit on December 24. The palace was a battleground for the Dutch and Balinese in 1894 and carries a certain historical significance. Lingsar temple, established since 1714 and built by King Ketut Karangasem’s successor, stands as the biggest shrine on Lombok Island. It’s a unison representation of Hinduism and Islamic Wektu Telu. The most recommended ancient cultural site is Narmada Water Palace. Built by the King of Mataram in 1805, the palace is a re-creation of Mount Rinjani’s summit and Crater Lake. The king constructed this palace when he was no longer capable of ascending the 3,726-metre Rinjani Mountain.

Excellent Private Tour - Our driver was very nice and helpful. His English was very good and understandable. He took us to all the places listed as well as some off the beaten path area. We got to experience local culture and see weavers at work. His driving skills were amazing as he safely navigated through the busy streets. Well done Madi.

Mataram on wheels - Visiting temples and mosque. My guide Andy was flexible and tailored the tour to meet my needs. He was polite, knowledgeable and highly professional. It was an enjoyable experience as I was on my own. However,I think trip advisor charged me a two person price, not one. Also price seems to be US dollars.

Our day out in Mataram - Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to visit the old Hindu temples of Mataram and the mosque. I enjoyed most the museum with the history of Lombok. Our driver Andy was chatty and informative throughout

Blah experience - We had taken previous VIATOR and other tours. This was a driver-guide single person. he did not talk a lot, as he said that his English was not good and he needs to concentrate on these country roads. Inside the attraction area, we proceeded alone. Sorry, he was more a driver than a guide.

Our guide was not a licensed guide but a driver - We were disappointed in the guide His was basically just a driver as he had no knowledge of the sites. In addition, his car’s AC was not working properly and the car was dirty. Really not worth the money we spent.
