Now there is no water transportation available. As recently as 2000, small boats and rafts were a typical sight in this area.

===Road===

The city is located five kilometers from Pattambi on the Pattambi-Pallippuram Road and can be reached by road or by rail. Kodumunda is of the important place in the route. [[Pattambi]]-[[Pallippuram, Palakkad|Pallippuram]], [[Pattambi]]-[[Valanchery]] (via-kodumunda-[[Muthuthala]]), and [[Pattambi]]-[[Koppam]] (via Kodumunda-[[Muthuthala]]) buses pass through Kodumunda, though West Kodumunda cannot be reached through this route. The Pattambi-Pallippuram bus on the Theeradesham road is the only way to reach West Kodumunda by bus.

===Rail===

Kodumunda is the location of the only [[Train station|railway station]] in [[Muthuthala]], which is on the way to [[Kozhikode]] on the Shoranur–Kozhikode railway line. Only a few passenger trains halt at this station, so the preferable means to reach Kodumunda is by road. Pattambi is the main railway station nearby where most of the trains do stop.
