Transportation
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.
