affordable good place to live in india

I have a friend who lives in Dharamshala cheap with good internet working for OpenAI before that Microsoft remotely. even during winters but i know people who move down south during winters. cost of living is cheap good air quality surrounded by mountains. there are lot of options now where you can rent a room cheap for working.
These guys are called Digital Nomads. Recently local media was also saying about the same like going to Dharmashala, Shimla or Ooty and work from there.
