Lakshapana falls , popularly-known for the power plant established and named after it at the confluence of its stream ( Maskeli Oya ) and some other ( Kehelgamu Oya ), is another fascinating item lying hidden amidst forests and dales seldom trodden by man .From the road between Norton Bridge and Maskeliya there is offered a scaled-down view of the falls and panoramic sight of the terrain but if one wishes to get nearer one may take the by road towards the Polpitiya power station, after travelling around 2 km along which an inquiry from the villagers would help one find out the falls.

The Lakshapana Reservoir, where the fall is found, is used by power stations at New Lakshapana, Canyon and Polpitye Samanala resulting in a certain amount of water depletion. A number of villages including Lakshapana, Pathana, Kiriwaneliya, Muruthatenna, Kottalena, Hunugala and Belumgala surround the fall.

The fall is 660m above sea level in the Nuwara Eliya Ambagamuwa Korale at the Ginigathhena Divisional Secretariat. The most convenient route is the Hatton - Maskeliya road. Take this road for 18km from Hatton, where a footpath leads down past the Pathana village to the fall. Alternatively, take the Lakshapana road from the Kaluganga River junction for 14km to the Lakshapana Temple. The fall is just 2.5km from here.
