Mataram is the largest city on the island of Lombok and the capital of West Nusa Tenggara province in Indonesia. Lombok is part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. Lombok Island is fertile with sufficient rainfall in most areas for agriculture, and possesses a variety of climate zones. Consequently, food in abundant quantity and variety is available inexpensively at local farmers' markets. With the commercialization of Bali and the accompanying traffic with reduction in open natural spaces, many tourists are discovering the charm of "undiscovered" Lombok. Attractions in Mataram include Pura Segera, Kuta Beach, and Pura Agung Narmada.

International connecting flights are available through Jakarta, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. Other major cities are Denpasar, Makasar, Surakarta, Malang, and Yogyakarta as well. Make sure that book your flight as early as you can. If you are looking for a cheap flight to Mataram, try getting a package deal with your hotel and flight. You can also try going during the off-peak season. Not only do you have to deal with less tourist congestion, but the prices of lodging and airfare are also much cheaper.
