Planning an 8-day Northern California road trip in June and wanted quick feedback on the itinerary/pacing.

Route:
SF → Napa (scenic drive only) → Lake Tahoe → Yosemite → Monterey/Carmel → Big Sur → SF

Main stops:
- Golden Gate Bridge
- Emerald Bay
- Sand Harbor
- Tunnel View
- Glacier Point
- Carmel-by-the-Sea
- Bixby Bridge
- McWay Falls
- Battery Spencer

We’re mainly into scenic drives, viewpoints, photography, and nature - not wineries/nightlife. Napa is mainly just for the scenic CA-29 drive and breakfast stop before heading to Tahoe.

Main question:
Does this route/pacing feel realistic, or am I missing any must-see spots or hidden gems along the way?

Also, is Santa Cruz worth adding on the Big Sur → SF day, or should we spend more time in Big Sur instead?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to invest in Hyderabad real estate and might even relocate there in a few years. My budget is approximately ₹2-3.5 Cr, and I’ve been primarily focusing on Tellapur, Kollur, and Osman Nagar areas (near ORR).

I’m curious to know if this region still has potential for growth or if it’s already becoming too expensive.

Regarding my budget, I’m considering whether to opt for a flat, villa, or plot.

Additionally, if there are any promising or upcoming projects in this area that are reliable, I’d greatly appreciate your recommendations.

I value your honest inputs and insights. Thank you!
