> Can anyone suggest the best way how to start with PIC programming ?

Depends what chip you want to start with, and what you want to do with it.

> What must I buy and what software download?

Software to download is MPLAB, which has the assembler, simulator, programm=
er driving software, and C compilers for a couple of the families. See http=
://www.microchip.com/MPLAB for the download link. It is a fair size, approa=
ching 100MB these days, so if on a slow link it will take a little while.

You will need to buy a programmer, but these are an acceptable price. A Pic=
kit 2 or Pickit 3 is a good starting point for a beginner.

> Is there a good tutorial?

There are tutorials around, I'll let others point you at suitable ones.

> What kind of development kit  will I need?

Check out the Microchip offerings, there are some basic development boards =
that come packaged with a Pickit2 or Pickit3 IIRC. These tend to be very go=
od value for getting started.
