Swat is generally approached from Islamabad, but here's the practical picture for travelers starting from Lahore instead.

The route: A drive via the M2 Motorway to Islamabad, then continuing on the Swat Motorway to Mingora, roughly 8-9 hours total, typically done in one long day or split with an Islamabad overnight.

Realistic trip length: A 4-5 day Swat trip works well even accounting for the longer Lahore-originating transit, given Swat's good road quality once you're on the Swat Motorway itself.

Making the most of the drive: Consider treating the Islamabad-to-Swat leg as scenic in its own right rather than pure transit, the Swat Motorway itself offers pleasant valley views.
