Monsoon and rain usually don't cross mountains ranges and high plateau. The monsoon in India is the strongest on earth, yet it barely reach Tibet. Yea, highlands can also block the rain if they are high enough.
It would be easier, but not the point of the exercise. The other way may get a really nice map that stands up to a cursory glance, but working through this way gives you what "has to be" not what "should" and as she has shown, its pretty darned precise when you're careful.
