Bathalegala can be reached by driving 3kms from hat Gampola bazaar situated 4kms from Gavilipitiya junction on the Debathgama road which is located 8 km beyond Mawanella. This is an usually beautiful rock in hat Gampola in the Aranayaka division. A beautiful view of the rock can be had from Balana near the kadugannawa tunnel on the main road. The elevation of the rock is 2618 feet above sea level. When the rock is viewed from Aranayaka , it appears to be triangular in shape. However, from the balana pass it appears to be square in shape . It also resembles the Sigiriya rock from one angle.
Camping Site
During British period it has been named bible rock as its appearance is similar to a bible when viewed from the central hills. A picturesque view of Sri Lanka can be had by a person from the summit of this rock. The tourist ministry of the Sabaragamuwa province has taken steps to commence a cable car service linking Kadugannawa pass at the tunnel with Bathalegala and Devanagala . There are several folk nterpretations of the word, Bathalegala, cherished in the memories of the people in the area linking its resemblance to that of a sweet potato and episode of a pot of rice turning blood red at this spot.
