Ride to Manali!
If you ever get a chance to go there again, go to Manali in the north. It is at 6,000 feet in the pine trees. You can rent an Enfield there...so fly into Kullu if you get the chance, its an hour from there. Look for a fellow named Anu...he has a fleet of Enfields for hire. You can do the Spiti River Valley loop, or go all the way to Leh, which is the dropping off point for the highest motor able pass in the world Khardung La, which is at something like 17,600 feet.
Get in and out of there by October, since it can start snowing in September. But the first part of September might be the best time...not too hot, not too cold. Just plan ahead, and be sure to run for cover if the snow flies!
here's a pick from the Spiti River Valley to give you an Idea:
