Tras New Village,Durian Valley of Raub.

Tras New Village on the old Bentong to Raub road is the Durian Valley of Raub,
producing hundreds of basket of durian each season and you can find it sold in many places in peninsular Malaysia.

The two row of old pre war shophouse at the new village is a place which stood still for more than half a decade.

  2. David,
    We might not be able to see all these old buildings in future because at present mostly old timers are staying there with youngsters migrating to cities,thks for visiting.

  7. Nice pics. I love these old country back roads, and taking a leisurely drive to see the sights that city folks don't get to see.

    I was wondering if you happen to have any contacts of the durian sellers or orchard owners? I am organizing a car club drive, and we are keen to stop in Tras to sample their durians.
