The Khone Falls and Pha Pheng Falls (Lao:ນ້ຳຕົກຕາດຄອນພະເພັງ) is a waterfall located in Champasak Province on the Mekong River in southern Laos, near the border with Cambodia (Khmer called "Labak Koun"). The Khone Falls are the largest in southeast Asia and they are the main reason that the Mekong is not fully navigable into China. The falls are characterised by thousands of islands and countless waterways, giving the area its name Si Phan Don or 'The 4,000 islands'.
The highest falls reach to 21 metres (69ft); the succession of rapids stretch 9.7km (6.0mi) of the river's length. The average discharge of the cataract is nearly 11,000m3/s (390,000cuft/s), though the highest volume on record was reached at over 49,000m3/s (1,700,000cuft/s).
Navigable efforts
The Khone Falls is the prime reason why the Mekong river is not fully navigable into China. In the late 19th century French colonialists made repeated attempts to navigate the falls but their efforts failed. This difficulty led to the construction of the Don Det – Don Khon narrow gauge railway on Don Det and Don Khon islands.
