Training Technical Communicators at the "Top of the World"  

Technical Communication is not a profession per se in Nepal, at least not until Pilgrim Asia was founded in 1997. Because of that, finding trained individuals to produce topnotched documentation for Pilgrim Asia can be as adventurous as scaling the country’s and world’s highest peak – Mt. Everest. (Ah ha! Nepal!). It takes perseverance and mountains of pages of writing and editing for increments of excellence. But once skills are learned, the expectation level exponentially rises so new levels of excellence are achieved. And with each product release we prove that technical communication can be a viable profession in Nepal.
