Solution
The windward sides of mountainous slopes get ample rainfall by striking with the rain-bearing winds first, while the leeward sides cannot get sufficient rainfall due to being on other side where the winds become almost dry due to imparting rainfall in windward due to loss of major part of moisture and water drops.
