The name 'Tilagor' refers to the specific hilly geography of the region, where 'tila' denotes small hillocks.
The park is managed under the Bangladesh Forest Department to protect the remaining fragmented hill forests in the Sylhet district.
Unlike traditional manicured gardens, the park maintains a 'wild' state, preserving the native vegetation of the region.
It serves as a critical green lung for the expanding suburban area of Sylhet.
Tilagor Eco Park is a protected forested area located on the outskirts of Sylhet, characterized by its rolling hillocks and diverse tropical flora. Established to preserve local biodiversity, the park features a network of trails that wind through dense canopy and open green spaces. The landscape is dominated by small mounds, known locally as tilas, which are typical of the Sylhet geographical region. It functions as a conservation site for various indigenous tree species and small wildlife. The park provides a habitat for various bird species, making it a site of interest for regional avian observers. Trails are largely natural, reflecting the unmanicured character of the surrounding forest terrain.

Wear sturdy walking shoes as the natural trail surfaces can be uneven and slippery after rain.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the dense forest cover and humid climate often attract insects.
Carry your own drinking water, as facilities within the forested area are extremely limited.
Avoid visiting during or immediately after heavy rainfall, as the trails become muddy and difficult to traverse.
Maintain silence to observe local birdlife; do not litter or disturb the natural forest undergrowth.
