i just want to update about 2 points on the way to swat . one road block may be encountered in TAKHT BHAI 20 KM FROM MARDAN INTERCHANGE. which is not avoidable for tourist .
another the road condition from landaki to mingora is very bad under construction.you can easly avoid it by taking SHAMOZAI ROAD.
After chakdara abou 8 to 10 km a beautiful square on river bank will come and you have to take left turn cross the bridge and it is a nice road stright to MADIYAN.
If u want to go to mingora you just have to cross river in a KANJU.
THE TOP PIC IS OF THE SQUARE YOU HAVE TO TURN LEFT (LANDAKI)
THE REST ROAD CONDITIONS PER TODAY I TRAVELED
