The Tibetan Muslims; also known as the Kachee (Tibetan: ?????; Wylie: ka-che; also spelled Kache); form a small minority in Tibet. Despite being Muslim; they are officially recognized as Tibetans by the government of the People's Republic of China; unlike the Hui Muslims; who are separately recognized. The Tibetan word Kachee literally means Kashmiri and Kashmir was known as Kachee Yul (Yul means Country).

Generally speaking; the Tibetan Muslims are unique in the fact that they are largely of Kashmiri and Persian/Arab/Turkic descent through the patrilineal lineage and also often descendants of native Tibetans through the matrilineal lineage; although the reverse is not uncommon. Thus; many of them display a mixture of Aryan and indigenous Tibetan features.
