Is it safe to stay in Kashmir?

Kashmir has been a conflict region for many years, and some countries have issued travel advisories regarding this region. However, as German foreigners who live here, we generally experience it as safe to be and live here. Kashmir is receiving several hundred thousand tourists a year (2010: 736.000), and tourists are not a target for either conflict party. What you could experience is one or several days of strike with closed shops and schools, and sometimes blocked social media or cut internet.
