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.

GEN at HLPF: side event

Wednesday, July 11, 2018, 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM EDT Please join us for an exchange of knowledge and celebration focusing on ‘implementing SDG 11.4 through Local Voices and Global Agendas for Cultural & Natural Heritage,’ a special event to be held in parallel to the UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). The event will bring together both local (US) and international stakeholders active in the protection of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, illustrating the vital connections between integrated heritage protection and sustainable development. Through speakers’ interventions and poster presentations, the event will also showcase exemplary efforts on how SDG11, the Urban Goal, can be implemented from the perspective of 11.4. The UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) will be convening in New York City on July 9-18, 2018 to undertake their annual review of progress made on Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, under the theme “Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies.” The HLPF 2018 will also review SDG11: this is where the UN has explicitly recognized the fundamental role of culture and heritage in sustainable development, i.e. Target 11.4 to “protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage” in order to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.” Both cultural and natural heritage sites, while under immense pressure from the impacts of urbanization, climate change and degradation due to other natural and human factors, play a crucial role supporting local economies, livelihoods, and quality of life in human settlements. LIGHT FOOD AND BEVERAGES WILL BE SERVED Selected poster presentations will be on view during the reception. An event organized with the collaboration of UNESCO, UN-Habitat, Government of Ireland, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and
