Approaching ZZZ airport for Runway XX for a visual approach with the PAPI light out of service; there is a hill and the runway has a uprising slope. At 1;300 ft. AGL the system detected that we were at 1;000 ft. due to the terrain just before the airport when in reality we were 1;300 ft. I adjusted the rate of descent just over 1;000 ft to be stabilized for the approach. The aircraft EGPWS announced terrain terrain pull up; so I adjusted by vertical descent to 800 FPM then proceeded to land on a stabilize approach. Adjusting vertical rate of descent close to the airport with the uprising hill near the approach end of Runway XX at ZZZ. Being stabilized at 2;000 ft. for this approach will help avoiding the terrain occurrence.
CRJ-200 Captain reported getting an EGPWS alert due to the terrain during visual approach. The pilot decreased the rate of descent; stabilized the aircraft; and continued to landing.
