What we do

Jungli The Nomad Village is a coworking and coliving ecovillage on 150 acres of ancestral land in Dandeli, Karnataka — about 130km from Goa, India’s digital nomad hotspot.
The land’s story began in 1955, when freedom fighter Lalbhai Patel leased it and built the Dandeli Ferro Alloys factory — the business that gave birth to the town of Dandeli and thousands of local jobs. Four generations on, his descendants, the Schae family, still run the land — now reimagined as a home for nomads.
Jungli was founded in April 2024 by Divi, “the Audio Nomad” — born in these jungles, he spent a decade in Australia and three years on the road before coming home to build the coworking and coliving community he could never find elsewhere in India: safe, creative, productive, and affordable.
Today, Jungli is a sustainable, family-run village and community where wifi meets wildlife — deer, giant squirrels, and birds share a forest village by the river with residents working over fast, reliable internet. Coliving houses, villas, camping, and soon tiny homes offer nomads a range of ways to stay, alongside shared meals, coworking spaces, and community programs.
Most of Jungli’s earnings flow straight back into the local Dandeli economy — many team members worked the land in its factory days and still carry its stories. It’s not just a stay; it’s a living piece of history, run on family values.

3h pour créer un écovillage

À la question d’un journaliste « Que pensez-vous de la civilisation européenne ? », Gandhi répondait « C’est un beau projet ! ». “Nous sommes en 2018 après Jésus-Christ. Toute l’Europe est occupée par les écovillages… Toute? Non! Un petit pays d’irréductibles Gaulois résiste encore et toujours à l’embellisseur. Et la vie n’est pas facile pour les gaulois retranchés derrière leurs préjugés : hypocrisum, peurduchangemum, égoïstum et moidabordum.” Sommes-nous si résignés et apathiques que nous sommes prêts à voir s’effondrer une civilisation et une planète pour du confort et des peurs ? L’idéal comme la Nature a déserté nos pensées. À peine sont-ils exprimés qu’ils sont directement dénigrés et mis au placard. Une civilisation qui se coupe en permanence de son futur et de la Nature est une civilisation à l’agonie. Nos désillusions sont-elles en train de nous mener à l’inertie ? Expérimentation sociale du changement de civilisation. Vécu en accéléré de la création d’un écovillage. Expérience des Lois de la Nature et du fonctionnement d’un groupe. Il est temps de tout reprendre à zéro : les écovillages sont le commencement d’un nouveau monde. Quelles valeurs, quelles actions, quels choix vont nous guider ? Pas à pas, imaginons ensemble la création d’un écovillage. Nous avons 3 heures pour changer le monde… ou en récréer un ! INTERVENANTS : Gabriel Lechemin Ambassadeur France du Global Ecovillage Network, formé à la conception d’écovillages à Auroville. Médiateur relationnel formé à la facilitation de conflits. Permaculteur. Facilitateur en Méditation et approche des émotions. Gabriel Lechemin a voyagé et vécu pendant 3ans au sein de plus de 30 écovillages d’Europe puis d’Inde. Il consacre son temps à l’aide à la création d’écolieux et écovillages en France. Il est co-fondateur d’Écoliens. Philippe Rovere Explorons comment la dynami
