VEIL OF CONTAGION TOUR LEG 1

Leg 1 — VAAH → VA1B

Ahmedabad → Mehsana

Departing Ahmedabad, you climb out over a sprawling urban landscape that quickly gives way to the dry, sun-scorched plains of northern Gujarat. The Sabarmati River winds below, thinning as it reaches into farmland that stretches endlessly toward the horizon. Mehsana appears almost reluctantly—low-lying structures, scattered agricultural plots, and a quiet airstrip that feels more forgotten than maintained. Recently, however, it has become the center of something far more troubling. Local reports describe entire farming communities going silent within days, their homes left undisturbed, meals still sitting on tables.

The First Signal

The data doesn’t lie. Cases began here—isolated at first. A farmer. Then a family. Then an entire block.

By the time officials arrived, the village was already empty.

No evacuation records. No survivors.

Only silence.
