Come travel with me through one of the most scenic routes in California & USA.Highway1 is 1056 km long, it starts from Orange County (just below LA) & moves way north till Mendocino County(way beyond San Jose). We start our journey from Irvine, Orange County & terminate @ San Jose

How to Travel? How to book car?

The only option to enjoy this ride is by car. You can book cars with various car rental agencies like https://www.enterprise.com/en/car-rental/locations/us/ca.html or https://www.carrentals.com/California-Car-Rentals-g-st.d206.Car-Rental-Offers

Tips: (1) For Indian nationals- Incase you are visiting on tourist visa(ie B1/B2) you can use your Indian driving license to rent a car (no need of any international driving license).For those with work permit, get a US DL & use that . (2)Since this is a long journey, prepay fuel(full tank) charges @car rental office. This will bring down your fuel cost.

Where to stay?

We stayed @ https://www.raggedpointinn.com/ which is somewhat middle point between LA & San Jose.
