Five days is tight for the deep north, but enough for a satisfying trip if you pick the right destination and don't overreach.
Option A, Naran (easiest): Day 1 drive to Naran, Days 2 to 3 Lake Saif ul Malook and Babusar Pass, Day 4 Shogran, Day 5 return. No flights needed, minimal risk.
Option B, Swat: Similar structure, slightly longer drive but different scenery, pine forests rather than Naran's more open valley.
Option C, Murree and Nathiagali: The lowest commitment option, just 1.5 to 2 hours from Islamabad each way, leaving more actual time at the destination.
What we'd avoid in 5 days: Hunza or Skardu specifically, the flight weather risk combined with limited buffer time means a single delay could cost you a meaningful fraction of the whole trip.
