Taman Narmada
An 18th-century royal summer garden modeled on Mount Rinjani and its crater lake. Its springs are said to promote longevity.
Narmada Park lies about 10 km east of Mataram. It was built in 1727 by King Karangasem of the Balinese kingdom as a substitute site for ritual ceremonies, since the aging king could no longer climb Mount Rinjani. The stepped hills and large pool in the garden imitate Mount Rinjani and the crater lake of Segara Anak. The park has Hindu temples and several springs, one of which, the 'Spring of Longevity,' is said to keep you youthful if you drink from it. Local families often come on weekends for picnics and swimming. Entry is inexpensive, and you can combine a visit with Lingsar Temple.
