Coliving in Goa, India

NomadGao is India’s best-known coliving for digital nomads and remote workers, operating community spaces in two of the country’s most beloved locations: Anjuna in Goa and Dharamkot in Himachal Pradesh. Founded in 2019, it combines reliable infrastructure with a strong focus on community, local experiences, and the kind of belonging that is hard to find in generic hostels or serviced apartments.

What It Is

NomadGao operates two distinct coliving and coworking properties — one coastal, one in the mountains — built specifically for remote workers who want to experience India without giving up productivity. At NomadGao Anjuna, two properties (Secret Garden and Vila Nova) sit in the heart of Goa’s most characterful neighbourhood, with rooftop workspaces beneath mango trees, a lush garden, and indoor Zenspace coworking. At NomadGao Dharamkot, guests work from a stunning rooftop indoor-outdoor coworking space at 2,100 metres elevation in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas, with unobstructed views of snow-capped peaks. Both locations run coliving and coworking alongside organised retreats and team offsite programmes.

The Experience

Community is the explicit organising principle at NomadGao. Daily life combines deep work — ergonomic seating, fast Wi-Fi, power backup, and quiet indoor spaces — with a social and experiential layer designed to help guests connect with each other and with the destination. Community events range from skill-sharing sessions and brainstorming sessions to local treks, cooking experiences, and cultural outings. NomadGao’s community managers curate local experiences that go well beyond what independent travellers typically access. The NomadGao Passport — a membership product — gives regular guests multi-destination access, community privileges, and local discounts at cafes and wellness studios.

The Space

Accommodation across both properties runs to private rooms designed for long-term comfort, not hostel bunks. Coworking is available in multiple configurations — Goa’s rooftop desks amid garden canopy versus Dharamkot’s panoramic mountain-view workspace — with fast internet and power backup as standard at both. The properties are well-maintained and designed with the multi-week or multi-month guest in mind. Weekly and monthly stays are available.

Who It Is For

NomadGao appeals to remote workers who want to experience India as more than a stopover: people drawn by the culture, landscape, and low cost of living but who want the stability of a community rather than solo travel uncertainty. It works particularly well for those new to India who benefit from the local knowledge and community support, and for experienced India travellers who want a base with productivity infrastructure. Remote teams also use NomadGao for retreats, taking advantage of the dedicated team spaces in both locations.

Location Highlights

Anjuna in Goa sits on the state’s bohemian north coast, blending a long-established traveller culture with an increasingly sophisticated food and creative scene. Dharamkot, just above McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh, offers a unique cultural environment shaped by the Tibetan Buddhist community, spectacular Himalayan trekking, and a pace of life that encourages deep focus. Both destinations are among India’s most popular with international remote workers and offer visa-friendly entry for most nationalities on a six-month tourist visa.
