Self drive car & bike rental in Muttom
Muttom is a fishing village on the west coast with a lighthouse above it and a shoreline of rock instead of beach, which is why photographers come and swimmers do not. We already hand cars over here, so a self drive car in Muttom is straightforward -- to the house you are staying in, or at the lighthouse road if that is easier.
Getting a vehicle in Muttom
Muttom is about 24 km from our base in Nagercoil, and we deliver rather than asking you to come and collect. Give us the address and a time; the vehicle arrives with its papers, a full tank noted down and the KM reading written in front of you.
The shore at Muttom is rock, and the sea comes in hard against it. It looks spectacular and it is genuinely dangerous to get close to on a rough day, which is worth saying plainly to anyone bringing children. The lighthouse is the landmark everyone drives to, and the road up to it is steep and narrow with very little room to turn at the top, so a small car is the easier thing here. Early morning and late evening are when the light is worth the trip; the middle of the day is hot and there is no shade on the rocks.
