The Jungli Campus
Jungli has a 150 acre campus full of experiences for you to explore during your stay here.
The pool
After doing it all, Jungli's have confirmed that the best thing to do is absolutely nothing.
If you like a cold plunge, chances are you'll enjoy our chilled, filtered, river water pool!
We highly recommend soaking in the sunset by the pool at The Big Bungalow, sipping a honey mint lemonade or a cold chocolate 🍹
Free access for Jungli Residents.
Yoga, Gym, Sauna
Jungli's love to keep active!
We've got plenty of yoga mats across campus for you to use, as well as a structure equipped for aerial yoga.
We are in the process of building a minimal gym, it currently includes:
-
an adjustable dumbbell/kettlebell set
-
ab crunch bench that also works as an adjustable bench
-
cardio cycle
-
pull-up bar
-
a banyan tree you can climb
-
Our community is helping us advise what we should procure next!
-
Heavy-duty users may access gyms in town for nominal rates.
We've also recently acquired a two-person infrared sauna, for which we charge ₹700 per session.
Guided Campus Tour
Post-swim, the best way to kick off your trip at Jungli is to get a guided tour of the campus.
Unlock the wildlife hotspots, the trees you can swing on, and the secret off-road trails for mountain biking!
Learn about the different industrial buildings that make this campus's past; and peek into the bungalows we are developing that will be its future! We'd love to get your input on how you feel our collective dreamland should evolve.
Get a guided tour for ₹400 per person.
The Factory
The historic Danddeli Ferro Alloy factory is the main attraction of the Jungli Campus.
Three floors of beautiful, rusting metal rise up around you with the jungle relentlessly continuing to grow through it.
Creatives tend to find beauty in this decay, reporting a strong sense of inspiration and awe here.
Click here to watch an art film filmed at the factory, or here to learn its story.
Get a guided tour for ₹400 per person.
The small riverbank
A short walk from the factory takes you to this beautiful bank of the Kali River which borders our campus. Great spot to catch the sunset, listen to the birdcalls, and watch crocodiles from afar.
No swimming allowed 🐊
Free to access.
The forbidden forest & big riverbank
Near the previous riverbank is a serene 2 kilometre forest trail that takes you to Sangam: a confluence of two rivers.
Come back before sunset as that’s when the animals start to wander 🐻
Get a guided walk for ₹200 per person.
Cricket ground
Built into the campus is a regulation-size cricket ground. Great for team sport, or a sunset stroll!
As this borders the village of Dandeli, we currently share this space with locals.
Free to access.
Badminton & Pickleball court
Perhaps the best way to work up a sweat is a competitive game of badminton in our covered court 🔥
We've recently also converted it to a Pickleball court which is WAY more fun 😉
Free to access.
Cooking class
Always wanted to learn how to make authentic Indian food but never knew how?
You're in luck. Allow our kitchen team to share with you the intricate process it takes to get our food from farm to table.

Birdwatching
Dandeli is known for Hornbills (see above), Indian Giant Squirrels, Kingfishers, Bulbul's and many more birds. We can organise for a professional naturalist to come to the campus and help unlock a whole new level of the flora & fauna around you.

The temple
If you’re new to India, visiting an Indian temple might be a fascinating experience for you.
One night, the goddess Mata Bhuvaneshwari (above) visited Lalbhai Patel (the visionary behind this campus) in a dream. As a result, he built a temple for her. We believe that she is the source of the positive, creative energy that can be felt in this land.
You're welcome to join our events:
-
Daily Aarthi at 7AM and 7PM
-
A charity lunch for people of the village every New Moon (Amavasa)
-
We celebrate key moments like Holi, Diwali, and Navaratri here with prayer, song and dance alongside the locals.
Free to access.
Bonfire
There's nothing better than burning off the day with a bonfire. Jungli's tend to sit around the fire, share what they're grateful for from the recent months, and what they're hopeful for from the year ahead.
Sometimes, we also write this down & burn it in the fire!
Let our team handle the burn for ₹150 per person.
Massage
Let us know if you'd like us to call a masseuse home so you can bliss out & heal in the middle of the jungle!
This will be a simpler, village-style massage; like a mother massaging her child - rather than the international spa treatments you may be used to.

Music performance & jam night
Want to experience an authentic classical Indian concert from the comfort of Soch?
Dandeli is blessed to have Jaith CS - a multi-instrumentalist & prodigy living just 2 kilometres from Jungli. This young talent loves to come over to perform, host jam nights, drum circles, and also teaches 10+ instruments!
Tune into one of his performances here.
Charges apply.
Night drive
One of Jungli's favorite activities is a nighttime drive through the factory campus.
Soak in the silence, rock a headtorch, and wander safely with a guide from our team.
Book a night drive at ₹300 per person.
But where will you stay?
