Prepping Cozy Lodging for Muktamirin in Tambakberas, Jombang
The committee for the 35th Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Congress is making sure the thousands of muktamirin attending at Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum (PPBU) Tambakberas, Jombang, on August 27–31, 2026, get comfy lodging. Executive Chair of the Congress, Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul), along with PWNU East Java Chair KH Abdul Hakim Mahfudz (Gus Kikin), checked out the accommodation readiness at Tower 7 MAN 3 Jombang. They were accompanied by Local Committee Chair KH Abdurrozaq Sholeh (Gus Rozaq) and Board of Caretakers Chair KH M Hasib Wahab.
Gus Ipul stressed that the lodging is being set up to feel like a hotel, with a reception desk, mattresses, pillows, sheets, and AC. "We gotta make the muktamirin comfortable. That's why we're providing these mattresses," he said, Tuesday (4/8). Each room will have dedicated staff for needs and cleanliness. A total of 3,000 mattresses have been prepared (2,000 from PBNU, 1,000 from the East Java provincial government) and are scheduled for delivery in mid-August 2026. About 300 AC units are also being installed.
Besides accommodation, meeting rooms and supporting facilities are continuously being improved to serve over 3,000 participants. "Alhamdulillah, everything's going well," said Gus Ipul. KH Abdul Hakim Mahfudz appreciated the local committee's readiness and said PWNU East Java is ready to provide additional support if there are still shortages after mid-August.
