Dilkusha Bagh (Шаблон:Lang-pa, literally The Engaging Garden or The Charming Garden) is an old date orchard in Bhakkar District of Punjab, Pakistan. It is believed to be a Mughal garden built by Humayun or Akbar. However, Humayun never visited the area. On his retreat to Safavid Empire, he went to another Bakhar in Sindh to seek help from Mahmood Khan, but this route was rejected by Major Henry Raverty as the possible retreat of Humayun.[1]

Dilkusha Bagh is home to hundreds of rare date cultivars, along with its common Basra dates. Efforts are being made by district government and Agriculture Department of Punjab to preserve these hundreds of rare date cultivars.[2]
