Satsangi families from any of the Swaminarayan gadis and sampradays who wish to be on the kshetra itself, with the reading carried out at the place it describes.

No. The whole corridor is driven, on purpose. The road through the Kali Gandaki gorge is part of the yatra, the closest we can come to the ground as Bhagwan walked it.
What is read on the yatra?
Satsangi Jeevan, with Chapter 44 read at Pulhashram, the ground of Nilkanth Varni's four-month tapasya. Dr. Chalise leads the reading at each site.
