We're all able to name the world's highest place, but how many of us know where the coldest, remotest and wettest places on the planet are located? All the world's most extreme places are reachable by adventurous travellers, though few of us might have the skills or patience to get there. Wettest placeWHERE Meghalaya State, India with annual rainfall of nearly 12,000mm – yes, that's 12 metres of rain. EXTREME Mawsynram and Cherrapunji battle it out for world's wettest towns in this obscure northeast corner of India. ALTERNATIVE Emei Shan in China's Sichuan Province is the wettest place in China and one of the world's wettest.
