Is Manikarnika Ghat safe for first-time tourists to visit alone?

I visited Manikarnika Ghat alone last year and felt completely safe! Just be respectful, dress modestly and avoid clicking photos near the funeral pyres. The locals are used to tourists but expect silence and sensitivity. Mornings are calmer and easier to navigate solo. Hire a local guide for better context, totally worth it for a first-timer!
