The beautiful Bathalegala

The beautiful Bathalegala

The flat, prominent 'Bathalegala' stands shrouded in thick jungle, mist and clouds, visible to all visitors going through the Kadugannawa Pass.

Located near Aranayake in Kegalle District in central Sri Lanka, the rock is better known as the the "Bible rock" among Westerners as its flat surface appears like a open book/bible.

It also resembles the more famous Sigiriya citadel due to its prominent flat top surface.

The site, which attracts many climbers and pleasure seekers also hosts a temple at the top and breathtaking views.
