Laxapana Falls, Waterfall in Nuwara Eliya District, Sri Lanka.

Laxapana Falls is a 126 m (413 ft) waterfall in Kiriwan Eliya, Nuwara Eliya District, about 16 km from Maskeliya on the Maskeliya–Norton Bridge road. It is formed by the Maskeliya Oya near its confluence with the Kehelgamu Oya, where the two streams become the Kelani River. The falls rank eighth highest in Sri Lanka and 625th in the world.

The name Laxapana comes from the Sinhala words "laxa" (one hundred thousand) and "pahana" or "pashana" (rock). Local folklore holds that the Buddha mended his saffron robe at the falls while visiting Sri Pada. The waterfall later gave its name to the Old and New Laxapana hydroelectric stations.

Local folklore says the Buddha stopped here on his way to Sri Pada and mended his torn saffron robe at the falls. The Sinhala name comes from "laxa", meaning one hundred thousand, and "pahana" or "pashana", meaning rock.

Reaching the base requires descending several hundred steps from a parking area along the way. The paths turn slippery when wet, so sturdy footwear and careful footing are important.

The falls give their name to two hydroelectric stations: Old Laxapana generates 50 MW and New Laxapana 100 MW. The water is drawn from the Maskeliya Oya just above the confluence with the Kehelgamu Oya, where the Kelani River begins.
