Bathalegala, the giant rock mountain that stands with misty veils in the blue hills that sings serenity from the panoramic scenery from the Kadugannawa Rd, is a celebrated place for its resemblance to the Bible surface on the top. So during the Colonial times, this destination was called The Bible Rock. 2,618 feet above the sea level and standing amongst the sapphire hills, it is a sight to see. And an even better adventurous hike to take up!
