From the top, the surrounding hills of the Kegalle district sweep out in every direction. The trail passes village tea fields rather than the usual tourist tracks.

Bible Rock — known locally as Bathalegala — is a flat-topped peak rising from the hills near Aranayake. The summit is reached by a steep trail through tea estates and forest. The rock face is named for its resemblance to an open Bible.
