All European Union countries have issued travel advisories to its citizens cautioning them against visiting Kashmir. They are in vogue since 1989. However, Germany is only European country which has modified travel advisory to Kashmir in 2012. Three years later, in May, 2015, the then German Ambassador Michael Steiner and his wife Eliese Steiner spent three days in high altitude mountains of Kashmir. And they were without any security cover. Steiner did trekking with local Kashmiri club from Naranag to high mountains. The trekking started from Naranag, which is base camp for trekking to the mount Harmuk (16,870 ft). The then ambassador had given strict instructions to local administration and Jammu and Kashmir Police that he doesn’t need any security cover for during the trekking. Like Steiner, scores of European visitors have been in Kashmir in spite of travel advisors. However, the government is keen to seek lifting of travel advisory as it hopes it would increase flow of foreign high-end tourists to the Valley.
