Anu Auto Works Manali
Hi Matt
If you stuck to an EFI Enfields you will find plenty places to get two in Manali, but mainly just 350cc ( been there last year, maybe it will change until next year?!?).
We had made VERY good experience with Anu Autowork Rental ( Royal Moto Touring - Anu Auto Works), but using the “old” carb pre units by intend! Well known by the fixers and plenty spare parts available along the way were the reasons to choose these. But finally the bikes from Anu have been in such good conditions that we didn’t have any breakdown (despite of 2 flat tires & one ignition prob in HEAVY rain). All our five bikes were well maintained, performed proper even on 5000+ meters and had fired up after a freezing night every time on the first kick.
Proper bikes, good service and reliable prices, IMHO Anu is the place to go!
Some pics from this trip you will find at Das Motorradreiseforum • Thema anzeigen - Let´s get Leh´d (sorry, text is German), might be a good inspiration to visit this pretty magic part of the world.

Given it's an Enfield . . . highly recommend the carb'd model. It's better known by the local "mechanics" and has ridden to Leh MANY, MANY times.
The state of tune is so low/old/unimproved . . . it'll do fine. The idle mixture screw is easy to access and that's probably all you'd need, at most, to adjust up high, and then again on return.
The 350 is actually not that much less powerful than the 500, it just makes a less "thumpy" noise. (I lived in India for 6 years and marveled at the Enfield's popularity and . . . Harley-like ability to make so much noise for so little power.)
