Hey, fellow traveller.

I’m Diveakssh Schae, or Divi the Audio Nomad.

Born in the jungles of India and raised in Australia, I’ve always lived between two worlds: the wildness of home, and the freedom of the open road. My nomad journey began when I turned a campervan into a music studio named Spoons and set off into the Australian wilderness. Then the motherland called, and I came back to explore India with a backpack named Mukti. For two years, I travelled through Himachal, Ladakh, Gokarna, Auroville, and beyond. India blew my heart open, but I also had three big realisations.

First, I could move through India more easily because I was a Hindi-speaking man. For travellers new to India, especially solo women, the journey could feel much harder to navigate.

Second, it was difficult to find the right conditions for productivity, creativity, and community in one place. I kept buying tables, chairs, WiFi extenders, and stitching the whole thing together myself.

Third, India is a magical land full of kindness, mystery, and awe. Strangers helped me, hosted me, guided me, and even helped me create music on the road.

So, to give back to the country that gave me so much, I turned my family’s ancestral land in the jungles of South India into Jungli the Nomad Village: a dreamland where nomads now thrive in a community where WiFi meets wildlife.

But one space is a drop in the ocean. I knew India needed something bigger: a trusted trail of digital nomad-friendly colivings. That’s what The Jungli Trail is.

I’ve personally stayed at every place on this trail, got to know the owners, and can confirm we share the same values. We are community-obsessed. We help you land softly, belong before you arrive, and balance fast WiFi with slow living. We also help arrange airport pick-ups, drop-offs, and transport between each coliving with vetted drivers, so you’re not left figuring India out alone.

This is my way of passing on the kindness I received on the road, and helping you experience the India I know is possible.

Welcome to The Jungli Trail.

India on easy mode.

Story

Shahzada is a nomad who’s lived and worked across 10 countries through Asia and Europe - from Thailand and Vietnam to Serbia, Albania, and the places in between. Before Odd Table, he spent years exploring how people live, travel, and connect, before returning to India to build an ecosystem for nomads discovering the country.

Somewhere along the journey, he came to Mandrem and never really left. His specialty: making people feel at home, wherever home happens to be. If you’re looking to experience the offbeat side of North Goa that only a few truly know, ask him for recommendations and he’ll probably map out your whole trip.

Story

Que Sera Sera - whatever happens, happens - is not just the brand name. It’s the operating philosophy. Simran followed her sister, a yoga teacher living in Agonda, to this quiet beach town. She arrived as a visitor, fell in love with the place, and became obsessed with designing boutique hospitality experiences.

One coliving became two. Two became three. This is the flagship. Sushrut puts it simply: “360 is not only about its view or its rooms. It’s also about its people.”

The Land

In 1955, Indian Freedom Fighter Lalbhai Patel built a factory campus on this land - and that factory built the town of Dandeli around it. It ran successfully for nearly five decades, before it closed down and awaited a transformation.

In 2024, it was reborn as a 150-acre nomad village, spearheaded by the third and fourth generation of that very same family.

Basics

  • 🏠Building a 100-person villageBig The Bungalow, Serene, Soch & many more villas

Mission

Jungli’s mission is to create a community that thrives where WiFi meets wildlife. With family meetings and open team meetings, it’s a true experiential learning residency. If you have an idea for what this place could evolve into, there’s a real chance it gets built.

India now has a front door.

There’s tourists, and then there’s travellers. The Jungli Trail is a curated set of nomad-friendly spots where founders built something extraordinary - and prioritised resonance over reach. If you’ve been looking for that dream spot on the road where you don’t need to choose between focus and freedom, start the trail.
