The next place we would like to introduce is Haji Lane - a popular hotspot for tourists, art lovers, and hipsters. What captures our attention is the alley’s incredible murals and shops, which you can use to unleash your creativity for your poses.

No parked or moving cars will obstruct your selfies, making it a perfect location for shooting your selfies. We recommend that you get there before 10am if you want the lane to yourself, as it’ll be a hot timing for both tourists and locals with most stores and restaurants operating by then.

However, if you’re feeling bold experimenting your selfies with crowds, you can come here anytime to take your selfies!

A perfect selfie comes a long way with experimentation, so we recommend that you try different timings at your comfort before moving to the next location.

The restaurants here are also a plus point – they’re perfect spots to fuel your energy and creativity before continuing your efforts for the perfect selfie!
