It's not necessary to take a car, you can just stop over at the local nomad tents overnight for $2-3 and share bread omelettes with them
The best way to go is from Srinagar -- Leh -- Manali. Altitude sickness is rare this way because the roads rise gently and peaks are not so high in the first half. Don't miss Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake while you are in Leh. It's always clear during the summer months, just make sure you pack insulative layers for the high passes!
