Transportation

Waterways

There had been a trade link passing through the River Bharathapuzha. Varantakuttikkatavu was a ferry point which was connecting Thrithala, the local market place and Kodumunda, one of the market place in Muthuthala. Now there is no water transportation available by the coming of new roads. Small boats and rafts were once a major scene of this area.[ clarification needed ]

Road

The village, located 8 km from Pattambi on the Pattambi-Pallippuram Road, can be reached by road and rail. The road from Pattambi forks in two directions at the Muthuthala junction. One road goes to Pallippuram and the other reaches the state highway to Perinthalmanna at Trithala Koppam junction. A diversion from Parakkad, a local village connects Perinthalmanna- Pattambi state highway at Sankaramangalam.

Rail

Kodumunda is the only railway station in Muthuthala, which is en route to Kozhikode on the Shoranur–Kozhikode railway line. Only a few passenger trains halt at this station, so the preferable means to reach Muthuthala is by road. Pattambi is the main railway station nearby where most of the trains do have a stopping.
