If you follow the Murghab downriver from the Kocha's green delta, after about 2000m (walking distance) you come to the site of Shah-i Mashhad on the left bank of the Murghab. The site lies on a barren elevation between two green areas in the middle of a long bow of the river that spans in northwestern direction.
