Is there a documentation in Stata which tells how iteration for a non
linear regression is done? I am having trouble with initializing the
parameters. I am hoping I will have a better idea to initialize the
parameters if I understand the iteration process.

>>> See the help and the manual entry as usual. The iteration is faster if you have even a rough idea of what the correct values should be.

Also, when I run a non linear regression model, the values of the
estimated parameters aren't returned. Isn't it a choke?

>>> I don't know what "choke" means here, but this is utterly incorrect. Look in e(b).
